I will try it.

Do you mean something like this?

struct collectlist
{
	int num;
	int ignore;
	char **list
} collectlist;

with functions

int collectlist_init(struct collectlist *list);
int collectlist_add(struct collectlist *list, char *inst);
int collectlist_check(struct collectlist *list, char *inst);
int collectlist_free(struct collectlist *list);


Best regards,
Lubos
