API question

[IngwiePhoenix]

Hey.

So, I am working on this build system, and I need to implement a function to list all files by a pattern. I.e. src/*.cxx becomes a list of .cxx files in src (string vector, or list, most probably). So to do that, I need dirname() and basename(). And here come my questions:

1: Does TTVFS have these? And if yes, where?
2: What are the files needed to get these functions? Do I need the whole ttvfs/ folder?

Oh, and the buildtool in progress: http://github.com/IngwiePhoenix/IceTea
I am at the point where I am creating the commands. So I need all sorts of file-system APIs...

Kind regards, Ingwie

Most of this should be in VFSTools.h:
Given a file name with full path, you can use these:
GetBaseNameFromPath()
StripLastPath()
But note they were not explicitly made for this purpose, so maybe you just write those yourself if necessary.
For wildcards there is a function you can use: WildcardMatch(). Just enumerate things and filter out what you want based on the wildcard. Should be simple. If you match the full name + path, you don't need dirname()/basename(), imho.

So in other words, WildcardMatch() does what I am looking for? So if I give it a pattern like: ./src/*.cpp
…would it return something like
./src/a.cpp
./src/b.cpp

because then, that is all I really need.

Almost. Wildcard matching is just for strings, added for convenience. So you still need to build the list yourself (use forEachFile + filter file names by wildcard)

Thats great! Which files do I need to include in my project to make the functions available?

Read. Also it's called "tiny" for a reason :p
Iteration and so on is in VFSDirView.h.
But it's all already included with <ttvfs.h>, so no need to do anything else.
