Alright, so I've implemented the SE at my place of work and the boss is engines-to-full-speed about it. He wants to see me add some functionality to it.
Currently the code is as shown:

It displays the results with _ArrayDisplay as you can see. I have done my studies and found that you cannot add functionailty to this as it stops your script from running. So, if i'm on the right track, I must temporarily store the results to be referenced by a custom GUI with said desired functionalities...correct? or no?
pointers, tips, criticisms welcome!
by the way THANK YOU MELBA23 ! and the members who have helped me get this far!
Edit: and no I'm not getting paid for this coding, I get paid to run one of these:
Here are some of the things I would like to change:
- The wildcard * is needed after whatever the user types into the input field, I would like to have this automatically added by the code rather than hoping the user knows that they need a wildcard, much less what one is or even that * is one. So how can I have the code structured so as that it adds a * at the end of the users input?
- A normal return presents something similar to this:
ExampleFile.txt
ExampleFile.lst
ExampleFile.html
This is because the files we use have a text doc, a program file, and a html spreadsheet like file. I need to add functionalities unique to each file type. So how do I take the results (which in my case i believe would be $aList) and store them as retrievable variables or arrays?
