The code changes would need to alter just one class. In View.Path, functions Path.find_wildcards, match_wildcards and fill_in_wildcards, if you're interested in giving it a try. Can you constrain your use of "*" a bit? What makes these wildcards difficult is all the edge cases. For instance, is there ever more than one "*"? Is it combined with "..."? Are there multiple lines in the client spec with wildcards? Some abstracted examples would be interesting. -- Pete
