NAME
ParsePatternNoCase -- Create a tokenized string for
matchpatternnocase() (v37)
SYNOPSIS
IsWild = ParsePatternNoCase(Source, Dest, DestLength)
d0 D1 D2 D3
long parsepatternnocase(strptr, strptr, long)
FUNCTION
Tokenizes a pattern, for use by matchpatternnocase(). also indicates
if there are any wildcards in the pattern (i.e. whether it might match
more than one item). Note that Dest must be at least 2 times as
large as Source plus 2 bytes.
For a description of the wildcards, see parsepattern().
INPUTS
source - unparsed wildcard string to search for.
dest - output string, gets tokenized version of input.
DestLength - length available in destination (should be at least as
twice as large as source + 2 bytes).
RESULT
IsWild - 1 means there were wildcards in the pattern,
0 means there were no wildcards in the pattern,
-1 means there was a buffer overflow or other error
BUGS
In V37 this call didn't always set ioerr() to something useful on an
error. Fixed in V39.
In V37, it didn't properly convert character-classes ([x-y]) to
upper case. Workaround: convert the input pattern to upper case
using toupper() from utility.library before calling
ParsePatternNoCase(). Fixed in V39 dos.
