How to? Check folder for "No files except possibly ..."

[Rick Reinckens]

I'm trying to find out if there is a fairly short way to check if folder X:\C-Import is empty except possibly for files named CMNT-*.CSV

The \C-Import folder doesn't have subfolders, so the existence of subdirectory names isn't an issue.

ISFILE and @expand don't seem to have an "exclude" syntax.

I realize I could dir X:\C-Import\*.*>zzq_temp.txt, then check the file line-by-line, then delete the temp file and return a Yes or No. But it seems there should be an easier way.

Look in the help under Exclusion Ranges.
help filexranges

something like this:

dir /[!CMNT-*.CSV]
