Notice the 2nd line of code. This isn't legal. What is the cleanest way to append an extension to a file path? I don't think /= will work; if I remember correctly it will add "/.txt".

I think you basically have the option of doing: 1) myPath = myPath.branch_path() / (myPath.leaf() + ".txt"); 2) string tmp = p.leaf(); p.remove_leaf(); p /= tmp + ".txt"; Both are not really pretty... Regards, Mika
