Topic: WCMatch Difficulties

[Lee Mac]

I'm looking to detect any of the characters: <>/\\\":;?*|,=` from a string, but I can't seem to get the wcmatch to function correctly.

I am currently using this:

Code: [Select]

(wcmatch <string>  "[<>/\\\":;?*|,=`]")

Any help is appreciated,

Thanks

Lee

not near autocad, but are you looking for
"""
"\"
etc...

or
"blah:blah"
"blah\"

?

blah*de/blah\blah<blah...

This should get you started, i did not test.

Code: [Select]

(wcmatch <string>  "*[<>\\/\":;`?`*|`,=]*")

it's peculiar how sometimes the way of thinking about the problem depends on the question.
