I am trying to run a plagiarism check on all C++ files that are stored in an directory using MOSS.

perl moss.pl -l cc -b pre.cpp *.cpp

The above code is what I've used in the command line on windows 10. All C++ files are present in the working directory.

However I am getting the error

File *.cpp does not exist. Request not sent.

What am I doing wrong?

If i enter the file names manually it works fine. For example

perl moss.pl -l cc -b pre.cpp a.cpp b.cpp c.cpp

And I am able to check for plagiarism in these codes

But I have more than 200 C++ files to check for plagiarism. Is there any other way to do this other than entering the 200 file names manually?

    I don't think SO is the right place to ask this. This site is for programming help, not software help. – ChrisMM Dec 31 '20 at 05:34
  • In Windows, file name globbing is the responsibility of the program. Your `moss.pl` will have to take the `*.cpp` argument and pass it to `glob`. – Raymond Chen Dec 31 '20 at 05:45
