Hello folks!<br>Sorry for the late reply. I found what was wrong. <br>boost::filesystem directory_iterator throws an exception when access is denied for a folder.<br>So I need to create a check for this before recursing into any folder.<br>
<br>Thanks for the replies!<br>Silvio<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Apr 16, 2008 at 5:32 AM, dizzy &lt;<a href="mailto:dizzy@roedu.net">dizzy@roedu.net</a>&gt; wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
