Command Line on windows

["RasikaSrinivasan@gmail.com" <RasikaSrinivasan@gmail.com>]

I am trying to write a command line utility and an expected argument
is a wildcard.

but it appears the wildcard is always "expanded to the list of file
names". for example, i create test_cli.adb with the following :

with Text_Io;
with Gnat.Command_Line ;

procedure Test_Cli is

begin
   while Gnat.Command_Line.Getopt("-v") /= Ascii.Nul
   loop
      null ;
   end loop ;
   Text_Io.Put("Argument ");
Text_Io.Put_Line( Gnat.Command_Line.Get_Argument ) ;
end Test_Cli ;


build it with gnatmake test_cli and then
test_cli abcdefghijkl <--- works as expected
test_cli *.adb <--- simply prints test_cli.adb
test_cli *.x <- works as i expect - just prints "*.x"

is there a way to turn of such automatic expansion (in windows)

thanks for any input. srini
