title: Glob style regex pattern match using boost
body: <p>I need to search for files which match some pattern which is similar to the pattern which is given on the command line in <code>glob</code> style using <code>boost</code>. </p>
  
  <p>For example:<br>
  If the input is <code>myFiles*.c</code> it should match the files <code>myFiles.c , myFiles1.c, myFiles123.c</code> etc..</p>
  
  <p>Tried using the <code>boost::regex_match</code> with the <code>perl</code> mode. But I had to give the input pattern as <code>myfiles.*.c</code> instead of <code>myFiles*.c</code>. I can recognise <code>myfiles*.c</code> and translate it to <code>myFiles.*.c</code> and give it to the <code>boost::regex_match</code> in perl mode. But the input pattern could be any vaild regex in the glob style as it is given for the command line utilities.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way in boost so that the pattern is interpreted in the glob style ?</p>
  
  <p>I haven't used boost before.<br>
  Any help ? Thanks.</p>
