A question about FileExists and a string

[huldu]

Is there any way to check a string for a certain word?

Ive made a small input window where you drag and drop a file, the path to the file then starts a specific program. The problem is that i cant check if its the right file being started (so anything could be started). Usually wildcards (*) are great for stuff like this hehe, but they dont seem to work very well.

For example lets say i want the script to start a game found at c:\game\game.exe, but the user drags wrong file to input. The user dropped d:\program\program.exe... now the problem in my script will think its the c:\game\game.exe and start the d:\program\program.exe instead.

Now if wildcards would have been used i could do a check like this, but obviously it doesnt work hehe...

$var = "d:\program\program.exe"

If $var = "*game.exe*" Then .. <do stuff>

Else <wrong file, do again>

EndIf

how about; If StringInStr($var,"game.exe") <> 0 Then
