Sorry, you misunderstood what I asked for.
Software developement is also do not reinvent the wheel all the time.
I'm looking for something already developed and well tested about parsing an input string to get new string values that matches that criteria. That is a kind a regular expression, (what I don't know, and I'm asking for, are the bases to this regular expression to acomplish a requirement like this).
I know how to do these things from the scratch, but I will be happy (and my boss too) if I can implement something already known that speed up the developement process. And, that's the purpose of site like this one.
You could say probably: "Something I needed to do something similar and I've implemented..." or "yes, if use the XXX method of the string object at STL...:", or something like that.
Points of directions is what I'm looking for.
Thanks

Hi.
Of course I could iterate trough the input string and start to figure which values matches that criteria and adding to a vector. But what I'm loooking for is something that made this for me. :)
I though that STL probably has a string member function or a helper object to do that, or a known algorithm: getting an input string like "0**" (with wildcards) and returning a string list with all the values that match that criteria.
Is always better something known, (and surely well done) that something from the scratch that probably will need rework.
Thanks.
