Re: [Boost-users] FileSystem - Test if file exists without opening the file?

path filepath;// this is a path to a file if (exists(filepath) && !is_directory(filepath)) { ... the file is there }

Thank you. I can make it work with relative paths such as: fs::path file_path( "test2/dir1/file01.txt" ); // works fs::path file_path( "somefile.txt" ); // works I just cannot figure out now is how to specify the drive and directory: fs::path file_path( "C:/Logs/log.txt" ); // does not work I need the ability to specify the explicit path since my paths will be provided at runtime (from user input and INI files) therefore I cannot rely on paths relative to the application. Thanks in advance
