1. Wildcard
Has anyone coded a file wildcard routine?
Example:
"*.exe" --> returns a sequence of all .exe files on the given path.

I haven't played with it yet, but I do have wildcard.e in my include
directory. I believe it was in the Eu2.0 package, but if not I must have
gotten it from one of the euphoria sites. I can e-mail it to you if you like

I don't know if this it what you want, but you don't need wildcard.e at a=
ll
if you want something like this:
-- wildcard.ex
include file.e
sequence exe_files
exe_files =3D dir("\\euphoria\\bin\\*.exe")
for files =3D 1 to length(exe_files) do
printf(1, "%s\n", {exe_files[files][1]})
end for
while get_key() =3D -1 do =
end while

If you are to use a
d = DIR(filename.......
statement
you don't need any wildcard rountines!
It works without wildcard.e as well!!!!

I don't know if this it what you want, but you don't need wildcard.e at all
if you want something like this:
-- wildcard.ex
include file.e
sequence exe_files
exe_files = dir("\\euphoria\\bin\\*.exe")
for files = 1 to length(exe_files) do
printf(1, "%s\n", {exe_files[files][1]})
end for
while get_key() = -1 do
end while

You weren't stupid. The use of wildcards with dir()
was never documented. I knew about it, but I wasn't
sure exactly how it worked since it's handled by the
the WATCOM routine that Euphoria calls. I intended to
investigate it more and add some notes to dir() in
LIBRARY.DOC. I'll do that for the next release.
I guess this is an "undocumented feature" in the
positive sense. 
search.ex and others use euphoria\include\wildcard.e
to select filenames.
