Hi:

Where you are adding file names to the vector call the generic_string method of the file name object, and this should work.

Hello,
Before, with boost 1.38 and visual studio 2005, i was using following funtion to retrieve the file names in a folder. 
Now i switched to boot 1.46.1 and visual studio 2010, but the following method is not working. Please guide me.

void Compilation::getFileNames(vector<string>& listOfFiles)

{

boost::filesystem::directory_iterator iterator(string("."));

for(; iterator != boost::filesystem::directory_iterator(); ++iterator)

{

cout << (iterator->path().filename())<< endl;

listOfFiles.push_back(iterator->path().filename()

                 );

        }

error: error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'boost::filesystem3::path' to 'std::basic_string<_Elem,_Traits,_Ax>'

Thanks in advance.
