Question : count # of files in folder given a partial name

I have folders named:
AV-215 The Best Is Yet To Come
AV-300 For The One Time You Do It
AV-215 Kinda Liked You Before
AV-310 This Is The Place And The Time
...etc.
I need a way to input, for example "AV-215" and have my VB6 program tell me how many files in ALL folders with the first characters "AV-215", total.

Answer : count # of files in folder given a partial name

OK, now it looks through the subfolders.

Be sure to pass a wild card in NameFragment, as I indicated in my first comment.

             Function CountFiles(Directory As String, NameFragment As String)
 
    Dim fso As Object, fld As Object, sf As Object, fil As Object
    Dim Count As Long
 
    Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    Set fld = fso.GetFolder(Directory)
 
    ' Remove if you do not want to check the directory itself
    For Each fil In fld.Files
        If LCase(fil.Name) Like LCase(NameFragment) Then Count = Count + 1
    Next
 
    For Each sf In fld.SubFolders
        For Each fil In sf.Files
            If LCase(fil.Name) Like LCase(NameFragment) Then Count = Count + 1
        Next
    Next
 
    CountFiles = Count
 
    Set fil = Nothing
    Set sf = Nothing
    Set fld = Nothing
    Set fso = Nothing
 
End Function
