then we could add

Then, if we wanted to make a really user-friendly interface, we could add boost::iterator_range<...> boost::directory_range( const boost::path&, const boost::path& extension ) support for multiple extensions or reguar expression would be cool, e.g. boost::directory_range( "some_path/", "(.txt|.doc|.jpg)" ) and support for the reverse sitution boost::iterator_range<...> boost::directory_range( const boost::path&, const boost::regex& toExclude ) Especially for recursive iteration, it is useful to skip entire directories. Remark: such support is probably most naturally added to the underying iterator classes by storing some boost::optional<> variables. -Thorsten
