yes, that was what I was afraid of. but anyhow, did you try 0u? | | string extension(ext); | - if (extension[0] != '.') extension.insert(0, 1, '.'); | + if (extension[0] != '.') extension.insert(0, "."); | vector<string> dirlist; | directory_iterator dit("dir"); | | would be a fix. But you know that, of course... yes. but I have a feeling that the right fix would be something like: string extension; if (!ext.empty() && ext[0] != '.') extension += '.'; extension += ext; thus avoiding the whole issue. and imho simpler code too. (according to the standard we should not need to check if ext is empty, sine ext[0] should return '\0' when ext is empty, not sure if we should count on that) -- Lgb
