Don't get me wrong, regex is a great and wonderful tool. However, from what I understand regex in C is re-compiled every time it runs. That would not be so bad if I was not planning to call this code later many times with threads on a system where resources are very tight. For that reason I'm trying to stay away from them if possible.
I tried looking at fnmatch earlier. I changed my while loop to this, but the pattern was not matched:
I looked at the man page and some examples online and appears the second parameter to fnmatch() needs to be a constant or a struct value. Either that or I'm doing something wrong I don't know?
