Thread: Win API wildcard function??

In Win API is there a function that uses wildcards??

I want to check the file extension in a path... (e.g. c:\windows\code.c)

For instance:

A function that would help me match this...

c:\windows\*.c

or

*.c

Thanks

Sorry Zen, I meant matching strings...

Lets say lpCmdLine ...

Happens to be c:\windows\something.txt

I would like to match that file path, using wild cards, like this....

*.txt

or

C:\windows\*.txt

Should have been more specific

That's exactly what FindFirstFile() and FindNextFile() do.

One more try...I was still, apparently, too vague

Let me just tell you what I am trying to do.
In WinMain I want to check lpCmdLine with a function, which uses wildcards, to see if lpCmdLine (lpszArgs in my case) includes e.g. the .c extension, then have the application take a certain course of action. The function would, I suppose, use wildcards like this *.txt or c:\windows\*.txt when checking lpCmdLine.

in the Win32 help file it says, "The FindFirstFile function searches a directory for a file whose name matches the specified filename."

Sorry about that. I should of explained it this way before.
