      Hi

      We have Cloverleaf 5.8

      I use this proc to parse a directory

      fset_ib_dirParse_regexp

      I have a problem using a wild card in my pattern to get multiple files

      this works for me

      { PATTERN rad_data_file.txt }

      and this doesn’t

      { PATTERN rad_data_file*txt }

      Can you tell me please what do I do wrong ?

          Can you post the actual script so we can take a look.

            If it is a regular expression then the asterisk says to match the previous character, a period says to match any character.  So your expression would match:

            rad_data_fileetxt

            but not:

            rad_data_file.txt

            The first one works because the period is a wildcard but if you really want to match the period then you would have to escape it:

            rad_data_file.txt
