Hello, I've a problem with the command MatchPattern(), in the Amigaish side all is working fine but if I create an executable for Windows (I've Vista) the result is always False.

I've tried a simple example:
But as said under Vista the result is always false: any hints?

Hello, I've a problem with the command MatchPattern(), in the Amigaish side all is working fine but if I create an executable for Windows (I've Vista) the result is always False.

I've tried a simple example:

Code: Select all

DebugPrint(MatchPattern(" fabio", "#?")
DebugPrint(MatchPattern(" fabio", "*")

But as said under Vista the result is always false: any hints?

That's normal behaviour. MatchPattern() currently only works on AmigaOS because it uses Amiga style patterns. If I wanted to make this work on Windows & Mac OS, I'd have to switch to a different pattern notation, probably glob or something. Until then, MatchPattern() always returns FALSE if not on AmigaOS
