Re: [Boost-users] boost::filesystem::path throws exception: invalid name

Funnily enough, full_path = fs::system_complete(fs::path(filePath, fs::no_check)); works on my windows machine! -Vivek On 23/05/07, Vivek Nallur wrote:

My code looks like this:

namespace fs = boost::filesystem;

fs::path full_path(fs::initial_path()); try{ full_path = fs::system_complete(fs::path(filePath, fs::native)); ... fs::create_directories(full_path); }catch(exception& ex){ std::cout << ex.what() << std::endl; }

Here, 'filePath' is a const char*, that is passed in, which is of the form "c:\\a\\b\\"

Upon execution, boost throws an exception saying 'invalid name'. If I change all the back-slashes to slashes, the exception stating 'invalid name' still contains "c:" as the offending string.

Hi Vivek,

My code looks something like this:

fwiw, the following code works just fine with 1.33.1 on Windows (and you do not need to use default_name_check if don't need to do this for every path)

namespace fs = boost::filesystem; fs::path foo_path("c:\\a\\b", fs::native); fs::path bar_path(fs::initial_path());

If you can post the actual code that is causing you problems, it might help to spot the error.
