Globbing in C++/C, on Windows

Question

Is there a smooth way to glob in C or C++ in Windows?

E.g., myprogram.exe *.txt sends my program an ARGV list that has...ARGV[1]=*.txt in it.

Answer 1

Link with setargv.obj (or wsetargv.obj) and argv[] will be globbed for you similar to how the Unix shells do it:

I can't vouch for how well it does it though.
