I am attempting to speedup Match.c and during testing I have discovered a bug
and some maybe unwanted behaviour.
First the bug
pattern = *.*
will match -
file.any (correct)
anypath\anyfile.any (correct) [ all as expected ]
pattern = d*.*
dfile.any (matches ok)
anypath\dfile.any (wont match but should)
danypath\dfile.any (does match but only because first characters match)
danypath\anythingat.all (does match but should not)
The unusual (but could be handy - I wanted zip to do it)
you can have wildcards in path segments
ie
path\any*\thisfile.txt
will extract "thisfile.txt" from any subdirectory of path beginning with 'any'
ie matches path\any\thisfile.txt
not path\no\thisfile.txt
I am rewriting match to speed it up (and correct it) but now have start again
to keep this behaviour (unless too many objections)
