The help on glob() or globpath() don't indicate what type of metacharacters are accepted, but there is a separate section called |file-pattern| that describes the metacharacters used for filename matching for autocommands. I don't know if these are applicable for glob() and globpath() as well, but a lot of these don't seem to work as described. Is there a different section that I am missing to see, or is it completely left out? Are the metacharacters predictable, or dependent on the platform and environment? If so, is there a base set that could work on all?
The reason I am asking is that I would like to translate a filename-pattern to a Vim regex-pattern such that I can highlight the part of the filename that matched the filename-pattern, after getting the results from glob() or globpath(), so I need to know all the supported chars. -- Thank you, Hari __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
