Hi, I was looking for a portable solution. That is why I was trying to use the boost::filesystem library. But I will accept your sugestion and use PathRelativePathTo for now. Thanks, Hermann On 10/31/05, Gottlob Frege wrote:

Hi,

I am running into the following problem these days:

I need to translate an absolute path to a path relative to the current directory on Windows. The translation process need to include all required ".." directory specifiers in the path to make sure it can be accessed from the current directory.

Have you tried the Windows functions such as PathRelativePathTo, and its compliment PathCombine?
