I've been toying with the idea of adding wildcard support to MBBack for a while (although probably not in this release), but AFAICT I'll need direct access to the OS wildcard routine itself (# for one character, * for many), because although OS_GBPB accepts wildcards, OS_SpriteOp doesn't.
So, was there ever an API for a simple string-matching routine to see if a non-wildcarded string was valid according to a wildcarded one? Or did any third parties write one? Or does anyone have any idea how to write my own? |

The RegEx module might be what you need:

There is an implementation of a wildcard routine in JFShared:
REM Wildcard based on that in Acorn's CopyFiles
DEFFNwildcard(test$,wild$)
IFtest$<>""ELSEIFASCwild$=ASC"*"THEN=FNwildcard(test$,MID$(wild$,2))ELSE=(wild$="")
IFwild$=""THEN=0
IF ASCtest$=ASCwild$ ORASCwild$=ASC"#"THEN=FNwildcard(MID$(test$,2),MID$(wild$,2))
IFASCwild$<>ASC"*"THEN=0
=FNwildcard(test$,MID$(wild$,2))ORFNwildcard(MID$(test$,2),wild$) |
