Could some kind person please provide me with a djgpp code example where the
names of multiple ("globbed") files are sequentially processed..... Or 
could someone point me to a (simple!!!!) dos version of grep.

For example, the program I envision would enclude the following:
/*** 
*	eat all files
*/
while(morefiles())
{  
	/***
	*	Get current filename into string fileS
	*/
	GetCurFile(fileS);
	/***
	*	Open and do whatever
	*/
	fPF = fopen(fileS,"r");
	/***
	*	do what ever
	*/
	......
	/***
	*	close and report what ever
	*/
	fclose(fPF);
	printf("File %s had ....\n",fileS);
}

I basicly want a dos grep.
If someone can make the above code work under djgpp, I'll use the example 
and write it myself. I looked at the faq entry about name globbing, but 
didn't see anything about how to actually deal with the resulting 
multiple files; i.e. how to get the file names, opened files, etc..

Thanks in advance for any help
