I'd use lower$/upper$ though to make sure the file extension check is not case sensitive.



Also, can anybody tell me whether the find first/find next approach has any advantages over checklists? Just out of curiosity, I usually use perform checklist for files etc. when investigating directories.

@chafari

Indeed, however in the improbable but still possible case that the file is named ".bMP" or ".BmP" or whatever, it doesn't work anymore. You never know what the user might do... maybe he likes mixed case file extensions.
