namespace bfs=boost::filesystem;

bfs::path p("/home/user/folder");
bfs::directory_iterator dir_iter(p), dir_end;
for(;dir_iter != dir_end; ++dir_iter)
{
    if( bfs::extension(*dir_iter) == ".txt" )
        do_something();
    elseif( bfs::extension(*dir_iter) == ".doc" )
         do_something_different();
}

For the most part not my code :-)

Cheers,
