I've found myself in a position where I have to perform some filtering
on a list. Essentially, I need to read a list of jobnames into a stem
and pluck from that stem, every member which matches a pattern such as
"L5%%D*P" where % substitutes for one character and an asterisk is a
standard wildcard of 0 or more...

At this point I find myself wishing for perl but rexx is all I have -
can anyone suggest a (relatively!) easily codeable algorithm I can
whip up in rexx to find all matches - I expect there's canned rexx out
there, so rather than reinventing the wheel... :)

Scrap my own question - seconds later I search this very group and
find a nice dicussion which gives me an examples. Apologies for the
noise.
