Note too that on Windows/NTFS, names like 'c:/foo/bar.baz.blip:blat' are legal. The 'extension' is '.blip', not '.baz.blip' and not '.baz.blip:blat'. The very existence of such special cases probably means that such a function would be a good addition to the filesystem library. -cd _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
