JFYI: I added a small wrapper around ::glob. It's available in zypp/Glob.h. You can easily collect multiple patterns and iterate the result. Glob glob( Glob::_BRACE ); glob.add( "/somewhere/solverTestcase/ *{.xml,.xml.gz}" ); glob.add( "/somewhere/else/a*" ); for_( it, glob.begin(), glob.end() ) ... There is also a static Glob::collect method that sends the result to some container. The containers value type must be constructible from a const char*: std::list<Pathname> plist; Glob::collect( "/somewherre/solverTestcase/*{.xml,.xml.gz}", Glob::_BRACE, std::back_inserter( plist ) ); -- cu, Michael Andres +------------------------------------------------------------------+ Key fingerprint = 2DFA 5D73 18B1 E7EF A862 27AC 3FB8 9E3A 27C6 B0E4 +------------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael Andres YaST Development ma@novell.com SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany, ++49 (0)911 - 740 53-0 +------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: zypp-devel+help@opensuse.org
