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
