Subject: [Boost-users] [Filesystem] Folders with spaces in the name

I am having trouble using the /= operator to open folders with spaces in the name, ex. "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);
