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).
[Nat] This isn't what you're asking for -- but would it work to instantiate a boost::filesystem::path with the putative pathname in question and an appropriate checker?
Hi, I am currently investigating this solution. Thanks for the suggestion anyway...
