dos_dwgpreview

I'm looking for a way to be able to select a drawing from a list of drawings
starting with STH-*, and being able to preview these drawings.

I thought the command below could be used;
(dos_dwgpreview "Select a file!" (strcat H_cadprg "bib\\STH-*.dwg") ) But
this does not work.
But it cannot filter the STH-*.dwg's

Has anybody got an idea how this can be accomplished?

I can't remember but I think doslib has a form for displaying a list of
strings - if so you need to provide a list of drawing names that match STH-*
to that form for selection and then call dos_dwgpreview on the exact file.
Look into the function VL-DIRECTORY-FILES for getting a list of filenames
and then using WCMATCH or VL-STRING-SEARCH to sort for the wildcard.

P.S. post some code, we'll help.

 

Thanks!

I've got it working!!!

Just needed the VL-DIRECTORY-FILES funtion.
