hello,

Despite some research, I am struggling to combine boost filesystem, boost lambda and STL for_each.

32 std::string str = "";

33 std::string path = "/tmp";

34 boost::filesystem::directory_iterator it(path);

35 while(it != boost::filesystem::directory_iterator())

36 {

37 str += it->path().filename() + "<br>";

38 ++it;

39 }

works fine

but

40 std::for_each(boost::filesystem::directory_iterator(path), boost::filesystem::directory_iterator(),

41 str += *boost::lambda::_1.path().parent_path() );

does not compile with the error message that :

error: ‘const struct boost::lambda::lambda_functor<boost::lambda::placeholder<1> >’ has no member named ‘path’

I don't understand why and I don't really see how I could have this work.

Also, I am wondering why with

instead of

boost::lambda::_1

I am getting:

error: reference to ‘_1’ is ambiguous /usr/local/include/boost/lambda/core.hpp:69:

thanks!
