filesystem filename/regexp pattern matching, fnmatch
I'm porting some linux software to Windows/MSYS, and I've run into a number of linux-specific file system routines that I was hoping boost::filesystem would be able to render portable, specifically "glob" and "fnmatch". As for glob, I came across this thread: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.user/5198/match=glob 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? 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? Sorry for the novice nature of the question, but my Boost experience is limited to numerics. -ML
