Topic: wcmatch problem

[hmspe]

I'm probably missing something obvious.  I've used WCMATCH many times in the past, but today it's not cooperating.  I've added the following for debugging

Code: [Select]

(print i_type)         
(print (wcmatch i_type "S"))

I'm getting this returned

Code: [Select]

"SLL"
nil

This is in R2004.  I've worked around by using vl-string-position, but I'd like to know what I'm missing here.

That is testing is the variable i_type = S.  If you want to know if it starts with S, then use

Code: [Select]

(print (wcmatch i_type "S*"))


Command: (wcmatch "S" "S")
T

Command: (wcmatch "SILL" "S")
nil

Command: (wcmatch "SILL" "S*")
T

Thanks.
