In some circles it would be called a "feature" rather than a bug... I
was hoping that there may be a more elegant solution than searching the
returned array, but I'll go with that for now.
Thanks,

huh! weird, i've not noticed this behaviour before. I might even say
it's a bug. Certainly performs counterintuitively.
Anyways, an obvious solution is just to select the files from your returned
array yourself
(with perhaps a strupcas() if you want case independence)
files = findfile('C:\tmp\*B9*')
w = where(strpos(strupcase(files),'B9') gt 0,count)
if count gt 0 then files=files[w] else files='NULL'
print,files
Cheers,
bob
