How to search filenames with a pattern in a dir using fatfs APIs

Prasad Konnur

Hello,

Can we search the filenames with a pattern in a directory using fatfs APIs like listing all *.c, *.h or test*.c files etc.

Please let me know how to do it.

Now i am able to read all the files in a directory using f_opendir() with path to the directory and multiple f_readdir() calls.

I am using BIOS version: 06_33_01_25

Hi Prasad,

I don't believe FatFS supports this, although you could try posting to the FatFS forum itself and asking there:http://elm-chan.org/fsw/ff/bd/

My guess is that you'd have to implement a function yourself that uses regular expressions to parse the filename to see if it matches what you are looking for. A quick Google search brought this up:
