File name matching

Hi,
I need to know if a file name matches a search pattern with wildcards * and
?

I found an API
SymMatchFileName from dbghelp.dll but it doesn't seem to work properly.

It always returns 0 whit LastError=6..

the declaration:

function
SymMatchFileName(FileName,Match:PChar;DummyOut1,DummyOut2:Pointer):boolean;s
tdcall; external 'dbghelp.dll';

usage:

if(SymMatchFileName('MyDll.dll','*.*',nil,nil))then
    ShowMessage('Matched')
else
    ShowMessage('NOT matched')
