file exists by file name pattern

Question

I am using:

File.Exists(filepath)

What I would like to do is swop this out for a pattern, because the first part of the filename changes.<

Answer 1

If you're using .net framework 4 or above you could use Directory.EnumerateFiles

bool exist = Directory.EnumerateFiles(path, "*_peach.xml").Any();

This could be more efficient than using Directory.GetFiles since you avoid iterating trough the entire file list.
