On Linux at least, a possible way might be to use glob(3) 
<http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/glob.3.html> or wordexp(3) 
<http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/wordexp.3.html> facilities when 
parsing that *.geany file.

I am definitely aware that on Windows it is a lot more difficult.


I am coding since 1974, but never used Windows in my life (both at home 
and at work), and at the age of 60 don't feel it is even worth learning it.


Thanks for your nice reply.


Cheers from near Paris, France.
