Can I have a Foreach Loop Container only loop on files names that contain certain words?

I tried the following :
*Fileaaaa*.csv, *Filebbb*.csv, *testtestFilexx*.csv

But that doesn't work for me. I have a file system task inside of the Foreach Loop, because I want it to move these files to a new location but it isn't working for me.

SSIS is pretty good at iterating with wildcard patterns. I use it all the time.

Thanks, I was able to use a sequence container in a for each loop to achieve this.
