Re: [Boost-users] [FileSystem]Directory Iterator Question

Really sorry to be a pest, thanks alot for all the replies, I'm making progress. what i am trying now is: path test("Test2") string randomString="Random"; directory_iterator dir_itr(test); rename(*dir_itr, randomString); It compiles fine but i get a runtime error, I've used exception handling and i get the following message: "Assertion failed: m_imp.get(), file c:\boost2\libs\filesystem\build\../src/operations_posix_windows.cpp, line 317"

Noob question, how do we rename a file obtained from a

directory_iterator.

i'm attempting to compile the following much simplified example.

directory_iterator i("whateverPath"); i++; // i know i++ exists rename (i->current_path(), TestRename);

When i try to compile the above , it tells me that i is actually a "path" object not a directory iterator.

That is because you are dereferencing the iterator to the underlying path object. The compiler is correct. Try:

rename (i.current_path(), TestRename); // dot not arrow!

...

However, when i try to write something like

path test=i;

it tells me i is actually a directory iterator not a path object.

The compiler is again correct. Try:

path test=*i; // dereference the iterator to get the path

HTH,
