fileset-local pattern

[Roman Partigula]

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
