Hi there,
I am sure what I am looking for exist somewhere but I haven't been able to find anything that works in boost::regex.
What I am looking for is a regular expression that will validate a filename according to the specification of the OS (UNIX systems and Windows).
I would be very grateful if someone could provide me with these two expressions (one for Linux and one for Windows).
Later,
Ok my latest version for Windows is: ((((((^([a-z^[.space.]]:\\?)?)|(^\\\\[^\\/;:\'\"<>]+\\[^\\]+\\))))) (((([^\\;/:\'\"<>]+)\\)*)*)((([^\\;:/\'\"<>[.period.]]*)) ([[.period.]]([^\\:;/\'\"<>]+))?)) so far, all the tests I did were succesful in Visual REGEXP. However, I still have one case that is problematic in boost using this expression. I believe the expression should match "C:" but it does not (in boost) Can someone spot the error? I believe I am very close of succeeding. Thanks all for your valuable help (and time)
