- hello...
-
- i've written a C program and compiled both a Unix and DOS version,
- the Unix version correctly expands its wildcard argument like *.jpg
- into its constituent files while the DOS version do nothing...
- Can anyone suggest solution to make it work in DOS...
-
- (i know that the Unix's shell do the work of wildcard expansion
- before passing them to my program, and observing this behaviors
- in DOS, does it imply that command.com simply leave this task to
- programmer???)
-
- thanks a lot..
