Can anyone on the net e-mail or post the sources or pointers to where I can find such for the pattern/wild card matching routines in "C". I understand that at one point or another there were several postings regarding pattern/wild card matching. If anyone can e-mail or post those with the corresponding source fragments, I would very much appreciate it. Thank you, Ed Benyukhis, Motorola CIG (708)632-6624

[...] You might look at the Gnu version of grep. Also, if you're interested in a good theoretical discussion, check out chapter 3 of _Compilers: Principles, Techniques and Tools_ by Aho, Sethi & Ullman (aka the Red Dragon Book). They give both deterministic and non-deterministic methods of wildcard matching. -- Dave Schaumann | DANGER: Access holes may tear easily.

re_comp() and re_exec() are the regular-expression pattern matching routines built into libc. say "man regex" for more info. bb

I recently purchased the source code diskette for an issue of
_The C Gazette_ which contains, in essence, a "grep" function. If
anyone is interested, I will post it.
P.S.: Yes, it is legal for me to do this, as long as I leave
the author's name in the code.
