Re: [Boost-users] [Boost.FileSystem] File or Wildcards in Path? How-to do this?

We are using Boost 1.34.0.  This is something in the current version of Boost, which seems to only allow Directory paths to be used in a boost::filesystem::directory_iterator.  So, the question I present would be whether or not there's another construct for doing this?  My coworker found something in boost/regex/v4/fileiter.hpp called file_iterator, which seemed to achieve the correct result, but why isn't this part of Boost.Filesystem?  Or is it and I'm just missing something?

Thanks,

Lawrence

   Are you using Boost 1.34? If not, it might be worth trying. If I'm
right about the exception you're getting, I believe it's been eliminated
in 1.34.
   If you're locked into a previous version of Boost, try passing
boost::filesystem::no_check instead of boost::filesystem::native.
