- Short: Turn on '*' file patternmatching
- Author: Kyzer/CSG
- Uploader: Kyzer/CSG <kyzer@4u.net>
- Type: util/cli
-
- Wildstar allows you to set whether DOS will allow '*' to mean '#?' or not.
- It is OFF as default, for compatibility with old programs ONLY!
- ('*' used to mean 'stderr', now that is meant by 'CONSOLE:' - '*' is free
- to be pattern matched.)
-
- '*' is preferred to '#?', as it is used in unix :)
-
- Wildstar ON will turn this feature on
- Wildstar OFF will turn this feature off
- Wildstar TOGGLE will change the current state of it
-
- Wildstar will print out the current state if given no args.
- Also, if it is ON, then Wildstar will return WARN ($RC=5).
-
- Example:
- 1> list f* lformat %n
- object not found
- 1> list f#? lformat %n
- fart
- fish
- foo
- 1> wildstar
- Recognition of '*' in pattern matching is currently OFF.
- 1> wildstar on
- Recognition of '*' in pattern matching is currently ON.
- 1> list f* lformat %n
- fart
- fish
- foo
- 1> wildstar >nil:
- 1> echo $RC
- 5
- 1> wildstar off >nil:
- 1> echo $RC
- 0
- 1>
-
- Requires 2.0 or better.
