[Boost-users] bind with boost::filesystem::directory_iterator

14 Apr 2008

      Hi guys and gals,

I'm new to boost and this is my first attempt to use bind (big step LOL).

I'm trying to do this:

    bfs::path p( "." );
    bfs::directory_iterator dir_iter( p );
    for_each( dir_iter.begin(), dir_iter.end(), boost::bind( 
&purgeOlder, _1 )  )

but I get:

purgefiles.cpp:53: error: 'class boost::filesystem::directory_iterator' 
has no member named 'begin'
purgefiles.cpp:53: error: 'class boost::filesystem::directory_iterator' 
has no member named 'end'

It would appear directory_iterator does not have these members which are 
common on the other containers, am I missing something? Is there a way 
to do this using bind?

Cheers,
Brad
