Short: Turn on '*' matching *KYZSMLCLXN* Author: Kyzer/CSG Uploader: Kyzer/CSG Type: util/cli Wildstar allows you to set whether DOS will allow '*' to mean '#?' or not. It is OFF as default, for compatibility with old programs ONLY! ('*' used to mean 'stderr', now that is meant by 'CONSOLE:' - '*' is free to be pattern matched.) '*' is preferred to '#?', as it is used in unix :) Wildstar ON will turn this feature on Wildstar OFF will turn this feature off Wildstar TOGGLE will change the current state of it Wildstar will print out the current state if given no args. Also, if it is ON, then Wildstar will return WARN ($RC=5). Example: 1> list f* lformat %n object not found 1> list f#? lformat %n fart fish foo 1> wildstar Recognition of '*' in pattern matching is currently OFF. 1> wildstar on Recognition of '*' in pattern matching is currently ON. 1> list f* lformat %n fart fish foo 1> wildstar >nil: 1> echo $RC 5 1> wildstar off >nil: 1> echo $RC 0 1> Requires 2.0 or better. **************************************************************************** * THIS PROGRAM IS PART OF THE "KYZER'S SMALLS" COLLECTION * * * * The KyzSmlClxn is a set of very small, but useful CLI commands. * * * * Source in assembler is included.
