Directory listings with pattern (was RE: How to query for a long filename using IRP_MJ_DIRECTO R

Don’t wanna bother, but for (3) I have some additional questions.

The format of “*.doc” is really easy to use (especially when building
directory information buffers), but how about those special wildcards like
“"” or “<” ( C notation, it’s hard to quote a " :slight_smile: ) ? Is there an overview
of all options for directory wildcards and their meaning somewhere? Or can
one simply use * for any illegal non-zero character?

Regards & TIA,
Tobias
