Sorry if I wasn't clear earlier: the IBM C library has POSIX compatible RE functions. For Perl compatible REs, you would probably want to port the pcre.orglibrary (written in C). I'm not sure if it would be practical to run Perl from within an exit. Kirk Wolf Dovetailed Technologies

I don't know if DFSORT can do this. I'm not too familar with the advanced stuff. But that pattern matching is exactly where regular expressions would be a perfect fit. I would say more, but I fear the small, but very vocal, anti-UNIX members. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT

snip As input I have a dataset with a list of dataset names from a catalog (really several catalogs), in columns 1 thru 44. What I want to do is include or exclude dataset names in the file based on patterns like you might enter on ISPF 3.4 xxx.yyy.*.zzz.**

Following up on the suggestion regarding regular expressions; one approach would be to: 1) use IGGCSI00 for each include pattern 2) use grep -v with -e for each exclude pattern, using concatentated output from (1). Our free Co:Z Toolkit includes a z/OS Unix catsearch command that wraps

What would be cool is a regex pattern engine that DFSORT can invoke. So, once the tiny detail of invoking the Java class using a (new, perhaps) Enn exit is resolved, DFSORT will have regex support. :grin: Nagesh On Wed, May 30, 2012 at 3:27 AM, Frank Yaeger yae...@us.ibm.com wrote: Hmmm ...
