Hi,

This is my first post, so please advise me if this is not the correct place to post my question.

This is my question:

I have the following directory pattern (Dir1 is the parent directory, and the rest are the child files/subdirectories):

Dir1
file1
file2
.file3
subdir1
.subdir2

the following code will go through the Dir1, and it will fail in creating the "path" when it reaches ".file3" or ".subdir2"

boost::filesystem:

ath dir1_path(filepath.c_str());

How should I create a path to a directory that (for example) has the following path?

/root/my_docs/pgg/.file1

filesystem::path works just fine if I had to deal with (/root/my_docs/pgg/file1) instead of (/root/my_docs/pgg/.file1) !!!

apparently when the file/directory starts with '.', I cannot get filesystem::path to behave properly.

please advise,

thanks,

Rudy
