'sregexp.library' is a run time library of routines for doing wildcard
pattern matching and wildcard path matching. It accepts a slight extension
of the AmigaDOS wildcard syntax, including a not operator, and character
sets. It has routines to test if a string matches a wildcard expression,
and for scanning through all matches to a wildcarded AmigaDOS path. There
are two nifty features to the path matching routines: '.../' means
recursively scan all subdirectories, and may come anywhere in the path; and
wildcards are allowed in the volume node part of the path! (DH?: would
match all your hard drive partitions.)
new from version 9.1 -> 11.1
Fixed a couple of bugs.
A null string is now equivalent to a '%' in all cases, so
(cat|dog|) is the same as (cat|dog|%).
