Searching in multiple files with expression "LIKE" - excel

Question

in the Range A1:A2 I stored the file name.
The files are stored in three different folders.
And the file name start with the search criteria in A1 but is not always match 100 %.
A1 = "test1"
But the pdf documents, which I am looking for call
"test1-e"
, but this is the right one which I need.
After finding the correct pdf in the three folders, I need to copy it to the Source Path.
My approach looks like this:
Sub copyFile()
Dim objFSO As Object, rng As Range
Dim strFileToCopy, strOldPath As String, strOldPath2 As String, strOldPath3 As String, strNewPath As String
strOldPath = "" 'Verzeichnis Nr. 1 in dem die Datei liegt
strOldPath2 = "" 'Verzeichnis Nr. 2 in dem die Datei liegt
strOldPath3 = "" 'Verzeichnis Nr. 3 in dem die Datei liegt
strNewPath = ""
With ActiveSheet
For Each rng In Range("A1:A2")
'strFileToCopy = .Range("A2") 'Zelle mit dem Namen
If strFileToCopy Like rng Then
strFileToCopy = rng
strFileToCopy = strFileToCopy & ".pdf" 'Suffix anhängen
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
OldPath = objFSO.BuildPath(strOldPath, strFileToCopy)
If objFSO.FileExists(OldPath) Then
objFSO.copyFile OldPath, objFSO.BuildPath(strNewPath, strFileToCopy)
End If
End If
Next
'If Dir(strOldPath & strFileToCopy, vbNormal) <> "" Then
' Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'objFSO.copyFile strOldPath & strFileToCopy, strNewPath & strFileToCopy
'End If
End With
Set objFSO = Nothing
End Sub
But my problem is, how can search in different folders and how can I search with "Like-Expression", because my solution didn't work out. Thanks a lot for the support.

Something along these lines I would use. This returns an array of files.
Function ReturnFiles(strSourceFolder As String, strSearch As String) As Scripting.File()
Dim a() As File
Dim fso As Scripting.FileSystemObject
Dim f As Scripting.Folder
Dim fl As Scripting.File
On Error GoTo eHandle
Set fso = New Scripting.FileSystemObject
If fso.FolderExists(strSourceFolder) Then
Set f = fso.GetFolder(strSourceFolder)
For Each fl In f.Files
If Left(fl.Name, Len(strSearch)) = strSearch Then ' Or instr here for example
Set a(UBound(a)) = fl
ReDim Preserve a(UBound(a) + 1)
End If
Next fl
Else
End If
ReturnFiles = a
HouseKeeping:
Set fl = Nothing
Set f = Nothing
Set fso = Nothing
Erase a
Exit Function
eHandle:
If Err.Number = 9 Then
ReDim a(0)
Resume
Else
GoTo HouseKeeping
End If
End Function
