I’m iterating through a directory on windows (c:\) and it is throwing an exception saying the file isn’t found when I call is_directory on it.

Here is my code

filesystem::path boostdir("c:\\");

// -- make sure the path exists

if(!filesystem::exists(boostdir)) {

// .. error handle

        }

// -- make sure its a directory

if(!filesystem::is_directory(boostdir)) {

// .. error handle

        }

filesystem::directory_iterator enditr;

for(filesystem::directory_iterator itr(boostdir); itr != enditr; ++itr ) {

if(filesystem::is_directory(*itr))

// .. code

        }

filesystem::is_directory(*itr) throws with

m_what = "boost::filesystem::is_directory: "c:8f876d52712ede0273c42e26d4af6847": The system cannot find the file specified."

I checked and verified the folder does exist, I’m guessing the problem is that the directory is in the format c:folder instead of c:\folder.

Thanks,

David
