Dear all, I've taken Richard Johnson's glob_iterator that he posted to the list back in January and re-written it completely, using Boost.Spirit to transform the input 'glob' into an equivalent regex. The result is a 'boost::glob' function that I believe is fully POSIX-conformant. Example usage: fs::path const starting_directory("."); std::list<fs::path> const matches = boost::glob("../te?t/foo*bar", starting_directory); The docs can be browsed online at http://www.devel.lyx.org/~leeming/globbing/index.html The library can be found at http://www.devel.lyx.org/~leeming/globbing.zip It should unzip to give: boost/glob.hpp boost/detail/glob.hpp libs/glob + ensuing sub directories and files. The code has been tested on Linux (g++ 3.3.2) and on Windows using MinGW/MinSys. There are still a few "issues" that I don't know how to resolve. Any pointers would be most welcome. DOCS ==== * It would be nice to insert a table inside an itemized list item, but quickbook doesn't like doing that. I need to add a separate paragraph. * boostbook/doxygen fails to document the glob_flags enum. * I generate a BOOST_LIB_NAME.html page and would like not to. BUILD ===== I have a couple of targets, lib/glob/example/real_glob.cpp and lib/glob/test/test_real_glob.cpp that I'd like to build only on POSIX machines. (They're wrappers for the system glob function.) Any pointers on how to instruct bjam to do that? REGEX ===== One test is failing on Windows "foo[[:alpha:]]bar". It works when compiled under Linux. Is there anything I should be aware of about Boost.Regex under MinGW/MinSYS? Regards, Angus
