I tried to capture `*it' in a string and in a string_type but the compiler does not like the '=' operator.

I just tested that in Filesystem v3 and there decomposed path parts are still of type filesystem::path. So my code looks something like this in v3. fs::path tmp("/foo/bar/path"); for(fs::path::const_iterator it = tmp.begin(); it != tmp.end(); ++it) { std::string tmpS = (*it).string(); std::wstring tmpWs = (*it).wstring(); } So maybe switching to v3 (if your code is still v2) might be a solution (since it's anyway the default). regards, Norbert
