Hey, this works, just 1 thing it doesn't do, but should. 1) this.is.a.string.to.match.with 2) this.is.another.string.to.match.with 3) this.is.a.totally.with.different.string
I've changed string 3 just to demonstrate this. What I want to be able to do, along with what's already been said, is to do a search for *.with and it return only strings 1 and 2 (since they end in .with). String 3 contains .with, but at the moment, this code returns that one as well.
