Something wrong with FindFirstFile and FindNextFile functions?
No I mean, I want to pass in all the files in a directory to a windows
command line tool. But the tool has to "opt in" to allow me to use
wildcards.
In other words, the tool receives "*.*" as a parameter, and it is
responsible for expanding. If it doesn't, I'm SOL.
Compare to Unix, I don't care what the tool supports, I am in control of
the expressiveness of what I want to say.
