Hi

I'm trying to create a regular expression for C using the fnmatch
function from the fnmatch.h library.

I dont know if you can help, but i need something as follows:

[[#:]#:]#

where # represents any number with any number of digits

it should be able to accept:

"10:30"
"10"
"10:30:20"
""

thanks for any help

The fnmatch.h library is not part of standard C, nor is any regular
expression library, so we can't help you here. You might try
comp.unix.programmer.

<OT>
fnmatch doesn't do regular expressions; it probably can't do what you
want. The folks in comp.unix.programmer can probably help you find
something that can.

We must do something. This is something. Therefore, we must do this.
