Re: [Boost-users] Unhandled exception using directory_iterator

Hello folks!
Sorry for the late reply. I found what was wrong.
boost::filesystem directory_iterator throws an exception when access is
denied for a folder.
So I need to create a check for this before recursing into any folder.

Thanks for the replies!
Silvio
