Searching OS-files using wildcards

Hi,

I want to make some DMS-automation and I'm looking for two functions, wich
exist in most  programming languages.
They should give me the first and following files, wich are matching to a
search-string (like"C:\Temp\*.*")

I've found in MAC SYSTEM_INFORMATION this:
// Find first/Find Next
#LOCALMACRO.OsFileSrch    SysInfo(5004,%1)             #ENDMACRO

Okay, thats the function to find the first file and it's running well. But,
how can I get the following filenames?
May be, I'm a little bit blind (today?). Please help!

Thanks in advance!
Detlev

Hello Detlev,

The following is taken from the Microsoft XAL 3.7.0.199 kernel newsletter:

Input to #OsFileSrch, #OsFileSrchDir and #OsFileSrchAll must be file 
descriptors e.g. dirrectoryname\*.*.
#OsFileSrch is used for find first/find next
#OsFileSrchDir is used for find first incl. DIR
#OsFileSrchAll is used for find first incl. ALL

Hope this helps.

Just call it with an empty string as %1... That will make it do a Find 
Next...
When you want to abort the search and start a new, just call it with the new 
search string...

Hope it helps...

That works fine!

Thank you very much for information!
