How do I format the NameFilter expression to extract only certain files from a zip file using fastzip?  I'm looking at files that will have multiple versions stored ( i.e. report1_01012008.xls, report1_02012008.xls).  I want to pull only the report1*.xls files but not the other archived files like a report2*.xls, report3*.xls, report1*.doc, etc.  Any suggestions?

With further research I found Microsoft's MSDN page about Regular Expressions (Visual Studio) @ http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2k3te2cs.aspx

Through a little trial and error, I found this pattern (based on my posted example);  +^report1.+xls$    [ + to include this namefile, ^ to anchor to the start of the line, report1 is my first part of the search string, .+ matches at least one or more characters between the two strings, xls is the second part of the string, and $ to anchor xls to the end of the line ].
