LMD101@PSUVM.BITNET (Matthew Day) (08/09/89)
Hi, I'm writing a program that attempts to search through a table(array) of names, and pulls out the names according to a wildcard specification. The kind of wildcards I want to use are the typical ones such as '*', '?', etc. Unfortunately my wildcard matching routines aren't working very well. I was wondering if anyone had some C source code they could point me to that handles wildcards? My program and I thank you! Matt Day lmd101@psuvm.bitnet

The Gnu project has code to do wildcard stuff, you can look at that for
info. Of course, then any program you write using that code you have to
include the GNU stuff as well, so be careful.

By the way, all opinions are still mine, not Radius.

Another place to look is a set of routines written by Henry Spencer at the University of Totonto. They match UNIX-style regular expressions, and all he asks is that you don't misrepresent where you got the code. None of the GNU political baggage. They came across comp.sources.unix some time ago--they should be available for FTP from uunet or other archive sites. -- Amanda Walker InterCon Systems Corporation amanda@intercon.uu.net | ...!uunet!intercon!amanda "It can hardly be a coincidence that no language on earth has ever produced the expression 'As pretty as an airport.'" --Douglas Adams

The directory is comp.sources.unix, and you want files regexp.Z and regexp2.Z. These are compressed shar files, if memory serves me well. I have used these to do regular expression searching on the Mac, and they work well. They are even "16-bit clean," by this meaning they will compile and run when used with a compiler where (sizeof(int) == 16). That is most definitely not the case with some of the GNU code. Earle R.

These files contain additional patches to the original code.

In case you're looking for things that match the (Bourne) shell's pattern matching rather than more elaborate ed/vi/grep style regular expression matching (Henry Spence actually approximates egrep regular expressions), I wrote such code years ago which I am still willing to give away for free, no strings attached. I recently fixed it to support the System V-ism of [!...] to match any character not in the set. -- Guido van Rossum, Centre for Mathematics and Computer Science (CWI), Amsterdam guido@cwi.nl or mcvax!guido or guido%cwi.nl@uunet.uu.net "Repo man has all night, every night."

You might as well post them to alt.sources. A few days ago I posted a routine I wrote years ago for CP/M. Rich Salz had one he wrote which he posted, and praised at great length as fast, clean, etc. You might as well post yours, too. bill davidsen (davidsen@crdos1.crd.GE.COM) {uunet | philabs}!crdgw1!crdos1!davidsen "Stupidity, like virtue, is its own reward" -me
