I apologize for posting to this group, but I don't know the name of a more appropriate forum, and this seems like the best start. I am looking for a routine to handle wildcard expansion in VAX C. I have source for such a beast on my PC, but it is presumably PC specific. SInce I don't know much about VAX/VMS directory structure etc, it would be very helpful if someone out there has already written such a routine. Post the code, since there may be interest from other people. Thanks Richard Stanton

You can just pass it your wildcarded specification, and you'll get back complete specifications of all matching files. It will work just like all the VAX programs (like DIRECTORY, SEARCH, etc.) since they use the same routine. Aid.
