Find files with a specific prefix

Hi everyone,
I would like to find the files inside a folder that have a letter 's' in the first position of its name. Then I would like to get the file name of those files that have that condition. In this folder I have files starting with 'csc', 'ms', 'c2s', so finding those names that contain the letter 's' is not an option (I had already tried those using dir and contains functions). Do you have any idea how to solve this?
Many thanks, Ramiro

Hi Ramiro,
I would recommend using the startsWith function. It should do what you are looking for.
