bool rep(char* pattern, char* string)
{
	if ((pattern[0] == 0) && (string[0] == 0)) return 1;
	if ((pattern[0] == 0) || (string[0] == 0)) return 0;
	if (pattern[1] == '*')
	{
		return (match(pattern, string) && (rep(pattern+2,string) || rep(pattern,string+1)));
	}
	else
	{
		return (match(pattern, string) && rep(pattern+1, string+1));
	}
}

bool match(char* pattern, char* string)
{
	if (*pattern == '.') return 1;
	return (*pattern == *string);
