>From fnmatch.h: src/include/fnmatch.h,v 1.9 1999/11/21 17:32:45 fnmatch.h 8.1 (Berkeley) 6/2/93
g++ version 2.95.4
gcc version 3.0.4
>Description:
The fnmatch function doesn't seem to like any of the character classes that are listed in the re_format man page. I ssh'ed to a linux box to check this and the character classes behaved the way I expected them to.
>How-To-Repeat:
#include <iostream>
#include <fnmatch.h>
void main () {
int result = fnmatch ("[[:alpha:]]","x", FNM_PATHNAME);
if (result == FNM_NOMATCH)
cout << "failed" << endl;
else
cout << "passed" << endl;
}
>Fix:
fnmatch seems to like the expression "[A-Za-z]" which is equivelent to "[[:alpha:]]".
