I would use for i, v in pairs to get all of the items in the folder and then check what the name of v (the item) is using an if statement.

You can loop through every item in the folder by using GetDescendants or GetChildren (depending on the use case). You can then use string.find on the name of each object and see if it matches:

for _, Item in ipairs(Folder:GetChildren()) do --> Getting folder items
    if string.find(Item.Name, stringHere) do --> Matching string
        --> do something
    end
end
