Re: [Boost-users] filesystem and filenames containing "+"

Dear all,

I am experiencing problems with boost::filesystem on files that contains a plus (+) sign. Below is a minimal example to test this. the line:

boost::filesystem::path p_plus("filename+.txt");

throws an exception if the filename contains a plus.

Any help or hints would be greatly appreciated.

You need to change the name checker. Try this: boost::filesystem::path p_plus("filename+.txt", & boost::filesystem::no_check ); or maybe boost::filesystem::path p_plus("filename+.txt", & boost::filesystem::native ); -- François Duranleau LIGUM, Université de Montréal
