path name wildcard syntax

Emmett

Hello,

I am a newbie w/ SPB17.2 and latest hotpatch.

I created a separate directory for my symbols.

Under that directory I have sub-directories by category.

I can place those symbols if I list each sub-directory in the psmpath, etc.

Is there a wildcard syntax so that I can just list my global symbols directory in the path?

In other words, so that I don't have to list every sub-directory? (I will be adding new sub-directories frequently)

Thanks,

Emmett

    Emmett,

    I don't think Allegro allows any wildcards in their library paths :(

    However, I wrote the following in my allegro.ilinit this morning which resolves that issue by expanding * wildcard into actual sub-directory folder entries:

    procedure( MyTriggerOpen( t_open)
    let( (TmpStr TmpPath NewPath)
    foreach(Directory parseString((axlGetVariable "PSMPATH"))
    if(nindex(Directory "*") then
    (TmpStr = substring(axlOSSlash(Directory) 1 strlen(Directory) - 2))
    when(isDir(TmpStr)
    foreach(subdir getDirFiles(TmpStr)
    unless(nindex(subdir ".")
    (TmpPath = strcat(TmpStr "/" subdir))
    when(isDir(TmpPath)
    if(NewPath then
    (NewPath = strcat(NewPath " " TmpPath))
    else
    (NewPath = TmpPath)
    )
    )
    )
    )
    )
    else
    if(NewPath then
    (NewPath = strcat(NewPath " " Directory))
    else
    (NewPath = Directory)
    )
    )
    )
    axlSetVariable("PSMPATH" NewPath)
    t
    )
    )
    axlTriggerSet('open 'MyTriggerOpen)
