But im to lazy to write it myself ;)
A string matching function that can match a string using a mask containing * and ? wildcards.
string db "this is a test",0
mask db "*is*t?st",0
invoke lstrmatch, addr string, addr mask
.IF eax==NULL
; match
.ELSE
; no match
.ENDIF
I think it would be necessary to limit the meaning
of "*" and "?" in such a routine. You might scan
the web for the word "grep", which means a string-
search (or search-and-replace) function with
pattern-matching. I remember a program called MEGREP
which was part of MASM around 1990, but I don't
think the source is public. A pattern-matching routine
is tough to write because it should be reentrant, i.e.
it should call itself.
