[Boost-users] Newbie-Question: recursive_directory_iterator and Unicode

16 Nov 2012

      Hi all,

i'm using the following code-part to show a file-listing of the current directory:

    boost::locale::generator gen;
    std::locale l = gen("");
    std::locale::global(l);

	boost::filesystem::recursive_directory_iterator it(L".");
	boost::filesystem::recursive_directory_iterator itEnd;
	while (it != itEnd)
	{
	    if (boost::filesystem::status_known(it->status()) &&
	        boost::filesystem::is_regular(it->status()))
	   {
			cout << it->path() << endl;
	   }
	   ++it;
	}

This work's great but not if some files contain unicode-characters. If so,
then a lot of ????'s will be printed. Could anyone show me how to print those
unicode-characters to stdout? Using wcout won't print anything. I'm new to
boost and unicode and i'm not sure if this is a problem of boost!

I'm using MinGW (gcc (tdm-1) 4.6.1), Boost 1-52, ICU 50.1 - Output goes to the
windows command-prompt (Already tried "chcp 65001")

Thanks,
Andreas
