[DECtalk] I NEED A BIG FAVOR!

Hi, what do you mean by wildcards?  Do you mean in the filenames or 
the search and replace strings?  My change program handles wildcards 
in filenames just fine.  I can do *.txt etc.  It doesn't handle 
wildcards in strings though.  I can't do "d*g" and have it match dig, 
dog, etc.  Also you know Linux has this ability.  You would want 
probably awk or sed.  I can't help with using them but I know they do 
that.  Anyway, it's probably easier for me to attach mine.  It's a 
bit old and doesn't support long filenames but still works fine.  It 
just uses the shortened Windows 8.3 names instead.  I'm not sure 
where to download it since I don't think it is maintained.  It's 
simply called Change so would be hard to find.  You could try 
ftp://ftp.simtel.net/ but no guarantees.  It's probably better if I 
attach or upload it.  Actually you have ftp upload set up now so I'll 
probably just do that.  It's changXXX.zip, the X's being a year and 
month.  I hope I still have it.
