Yes, of course it's possible to do the matching in C. After all, the code in the shells that does it is written in C. Rich Salz has posted to the net a pattern matching function that behaves as the shell pattern matching. You can find it in alt.sources archives. You can also find it in the sources to GNU tar, so if you ftp the sources to GNU tar from any GNU archive site, you should be all set. There's also a globbing function written by RMS in the bash sources, but it's under the GPL, so if you don't want to put your code under the GPL, you shouldn't use it. -- Jonathan Kamens USnail: MIT Project Athena 11 Ashford Terrace jik@Athena.MIT.EDU Allston, MA 02134 Office: 617-253-8085 Home: 617-782-0710
