For a complicated match I would use PCRE. For a simple match of a dsn against a
list, I'd use something like
found = 0
do i=1 to words(names) until found
if dsn = word(names,i) then found=1
end
if found then say dsn 'matched'

Subject: Rexx generic compare
I think this issue was discussed here in the past, but I can't find it.
Anyway, I am trying to figure out what is a better fit for a generic mask.
Assume I have SYS1.PARMLIB.OLD and I am looking into two strings:
SYS1.PARM** and SYS1.PARM*.OLD
Is there a way to identify which is better covers SYS1.PARMLIB.OLD (the
second one, of course)( using Rexx?
