Hi Ian,
escape character is not the problem. I would put my code here:
#include "stdafx.h"#include "Windows.h"#include #include #include <iostream>#include "string"#include "conio.h"#include "vector"#include
#define BOOST_WINDOWS_PATH #define BOOST_WINDOWS_APIusing namespace std;using namespace boost::filesystem;
extern "C" void straight_to_debugger(unsigned int, EXCEPTION_POINTERS*){ throw;}extern "C" void (*old_translator)(unsigned, EXCEPTION_POINTERS*) = _set_se_translator(straight_to_debugger);
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]){ string _path = "E:\\doggy";
path dir_path(_path.c_str()); vector< pair > _file_jpeg_pair; string full_list_path = _path+"\\" + "list.txt"; string bundle_path_str = _path+"\\" + "bundle"; path bundle_path(_path.c_str()); //creating bundle directory cout< wrote:

Hi avanindra,
std::exception::what: boost::filesystem::create_directory: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect: "E:\doggy"
OK, I don't have the full story here. Is the directory name being specified in the C++ source code? If so then remember that "\" is used for character escape sequences. If you are specifying the name in the source code, you may need to type "E:\\doggy". The double "\" will resolve to a single "\" in the executable.
HTH,
Ian
