Hi all, Boost.Filesystem eases use of path names across platforms w.r.t to the directory separator (slash vs. backslash, as I am only concerned with Linux <-> Windows). Now, I need to handle _lists_ of path names (in an environment variable). Is there a similar transparent way a) to automatically handle or b) access os-specific _path_ separators (colon vs. semicolon) in Boost.Filesystem or Boost in general? In other words, I am looking for the Boost (well, C++) equivalent of Pyhton's os.pathsep, Java's path.separator or PHP's PATH_SEPARATOR. And I am looking for a library function/constant rather than a self-implemented platform-dependent preprocessor directive. The only C++-solution I am currently aware of is "apr_filepath_list_merge"/"apr_filepath_list_split" in Apache Portable Runtime (as mentioned in this answer to my question on stackoverflow: (http://stackoverflow.com/a/10514401/1228449) Is there a similar way in Boost? Kind regards Johannes
