I&#39;m porting some linux software to Windows/MSYS, and I&#39;ve run into a number of linux-specific file system routines that I was hoping boost::filesystem would be able to render portable, specifically &quot;glob&quot; and &quot;fnmatch&quot;.<br>

<br><br> As for glob, I came across this thread:<br><a href="http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.user/5198/match=glob" target="_blank">http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.user/5198/match=glob</a><br>but it appears to not have been implemented into boost, and the link to source code is long dead. Am I going to need to just re-write all glob-specific code into something boost::filesystem compatible?<br>

<br><br>As for fnmatch(), which matches regular expressions in strings (say, finding all files in a directory which contain a numeral), does this not exist in the filesystem library, or am I overlooking something?<br><br>
<br>Sorry for the novice nature of the question, but my Boost experience is limited to numerics.<br><br>-ML<br>
