Andy - the versions I sent you a while back are obsolete now.

You can upload them at "Preferences / Upload directory"
Answer login request with 
  username=duser

Currently there is one common upload directory. We can register
individual users with separate directories if there is a need.

I am wanting some smart and fast wildcard expansion stuff for recls, and was

Larry, once your lib is (correctness and performance) tested in D, would you
be interested in porting it to C/C++, or helping me do so. The payoff is
that I can wax lyrical about your skills in CUJ, and that your code will be
running in the increasing number of languages for which recls is available -
Ruby is the one I'm currently doing, but there are lots more to come. :)

Even better would be to do a C++/template version which we can incorporate
into STLSoft.

Interested?

Here's one way to do wildcard expansion using existing phobos modules:

void findCppFiles(char[] fullpath, char[] directory)
{
   char[][] dirlist = std.file.listdir(fullpath);

   foreach (char[] fname; dirlist)
   {
      if (std.file.isfile(std.path.join(fullpath, fname))
         && std.path.fnmatch(fname, "*.cpp"))
      {
            printf("file: '%.*s'\n", fname);
      }
   }
}

then I can potentially include this in STLSoft for C++ folks.

sorry. the first one got away from me and posted before I had any content.

Matthew - (or anybody else)

What do you know of directory access in C for windoughs?  I have been using
dirent.h in unix, but I don't find anythng in my VC6.  Is there something you
know of that is portable?  I will look in djgpp dirent source, but that's the
only lead I know of at the moment.
Other than that, the wildcard stuff ported from D easily with only the debug
stuff growing larger - I'll have to go back and use more D specific stuff on the
original, see if I can cut it smaller and better.  Since it's not really needed
in unix, I'm not putting much effort into that side.

Sorry, I misunderstood. I assumed your request for file-matching was part of
a test program. I am confused as to why it would be part of the wildcard
implementation.

I think C is better for the wildcard thing, as it's more widely portable and
digestible, and likely to be less coupled.

Not really sure what to recommend without knowing why you need the
file-system searching. For recls I am hoping that the wildcard functions
will take over from the native matching, which would therefore always be *.*
on Win32 and * on UNIX.

In the D version, I was using listdir, isdir, and isfile.  You can't match
patterns to available files without getting their names and climbing up the tree
(hopefully in some efficient, portable way).  One of the things I'm concerned
about using raw i/o is that directory formats change some with different file
systems.  That's a whole bag of worms I'd rather not get into.

Matthew -
Are you just interested in the matching state machine?  That works in C.  I'll
try it as externC from the D code where it's used for each level of the input
pattern to accept or reject subdirectories (as well as filenames at the last
level or alternatively in each accepted directory in the tree).  I plan to go
back into the D version (a WildMatch class) and try to cut it down a bit.  With
pointers, the C code is shorter a bit except for the debug going to
#ifdef/#endif framing.
