- Hi,
-
- I have been writing a few utilities for AmigaDOS 2.0, and am
- having a bit of trouble with the pattern matching routines MatchFirst
- and MatchNext. I seem to get some quite wierd stuff back from them at
- times (garbage file names etc). I'm a bit stumped by this, and wondered
- if it may be due to my program moving/creating/deleting files within
- pattern matching. What I wish to know is are all file operations legal
- during pattern matching (ie can I create a new file as a result of each
- MatchNext call, for example). Thanks in advance for any help,
-
- Dave
