Re: use of wildcard function recursively

[Chris Chiasson]

Depending on your shell and the utilities available, you could easily
do this with a shell command. I use bash, find, and sed to obtain a
list in the appropriate format.

$(addprefix $(CURDIR),$(shell find . -type f -name "*.article.xml"
-print | sed 's/^\.//'))

where *.article.xml could be whatever for which you want to search.

I would be interested in hearing a more "make-native" way of doing this.
