"My Documents" or "Program Files". Here is an example code: path full_path("c:\"); string Fname="Program Files"; full_path/=Fname; It works for any Fname (folder name) that doesn't have a space. Let me know if you need more information. Thanks in advance. [Nat] You didn't explain the nature of your 'trouble,' but if you're encountering exceptions, it's probably the default boost::filesystem::path syntax checker. Try explicitly disabling that rather than letting operator/= implicitly convert your string to boost::filesystem::path with the default checker, e.g. (neither compiled nor tested): full_path /= path(Fname, no_check); _______________________________________________ Boost-users mailing list Boost-users@lists.boost.org http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-users --------------------------------- Need Mail bonding?
