Please suggest me a way to search for strings with wildcards in an array of
character strings.

Consider using a regular expression engine. It is probably what you really
need.

Thanks Brian,
Sorry, I'm not using dot net.
I am using VS 6.0 with plain SDK, no MFC.
Any suggestions for the same on VS 6.0?

Another regular expression libary. Try searching the 'net a bit - you'll
find several. You can start at www.boost.org.

Sure. There is a COM version of the regular expression engine on your
machine, called RegExp, which works perfectly well from VS 6.0. Just import
the associated typelib and you are on your way.
