Re: WildCard Key

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I have a std::list that holds a list of disallowed filenames. So when
the client creates a file, the service checks if it's in this list and
if so, it deletes the file. Currently, it's fast and efficient, in a
second, I can check if the key (the filename) exists in the list and
act accordingly if so.

But I have a new need to support filenames based on wildcards. So the
list may contain notepad*.exe and is supposed to block anything that
matches.

As an alternative to Brian's suggestion, could you turn the solution
inside out and use FindFirstFile to detect a filename matching your
wildcard entries?
