What's happening to me is, when I run my program out of Visual studio, it can't use relative paths to find anything. This is proving difficult to articulate... Like, I've got program X, which opens textfile.txt, right? And if I point to textfile.txt with an absolute path, I'm fine. And if I point to it with a relative path and I compil...

I am creating a C++ SDL game engine, and it is relevant to know the executable path since images and other resources are not stored within the executable - they are in a separated folder("res/"). Under Linux, I am using a shell script "rungame.sh" that cd's to the executable path and then runs the executable(using then "./" to reference...
I have a site that I am trying to create a local copy of for test purposes (dusting off a past site). I was able to correctly get the db out and most of the site works great. However, I have places where things aren't loading correctly and are just giving me errors or messages in curly braces. For example, a td class' name is being re...
I've seen similar questions and answers regarding conversions from virtual to absolute and url, but how can I convert a url to a virtual path without manual string parsing? Example: I want "http://myserver/home.aspx" converted to: "~/home.aspx" I realize the above example would be an easy string parsing routine, but I'm looking for a...

Hi, I am trying to create unittests that can be shared amongst my development team so I need to have all paths in the project be relative. Where this is giving me trouble is with the HttpWebRequest class. I want it to serve static testdata from a file in the local filesystem. I'd like to do something like this: file:///./TestData/te...
Hello, Does anybody have a reference to what the various path names mean on different flavors of Unix? Please include Solaris, RHEL, and SLES in the list if possible. e.g. From what I have gathered /lib is standard libraries for the distribution, which never change (is this correct? or do they get new versions from time to time?), /...
There are numerous post over the net that detail how relative paths don't work in Xcode. I do have an Xcode template that I downloaded where the relative paths DO work, however I have not been able to figure out why nor replicate it in other projects. Firstly, I am using C++ in Xcode 3.1. I am not using Objective-C, nor any Cocoa/Carbon...

The easiest way to check if a path is an UNC path is of course to check if the first character in the full path is a letter or backslash. Is this a good solution or could there be problems with it? My specific problem is that I want to create an System.IO.DriveInfo-object if there is a drive letter in the path. ...
Is there a way to set the global windows path environment variable programatically (C++)? As far as I can see, putenv sets it only for the current application. Changing directly in the registry (HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment) is also an option though I would prefer API methods if there are? ...

Does the Win32 API have a function for joining two paths? I can't find it, so I thought I'd ask before rolling my own. ...
What is the most correct regular expression (regex) for a UNIX file path? For example, to detect something like this: /usr/lib/libgccpp.so.1.0.2 It's pretty easy to make a regular expression that will match most files, but what's the best one, including one that can detect escaped whitespace sequences, and unusual characters you don'...
I'm working on a simple copy tool to copy files off digital cameras. I've written the file copy code, I've got everything hooked up nicely. The issue I have seems to be with the FolderBrowserDialog. In Vista (I haven't checked XP yet), I can browse to the directories on the camera. However the FolderBrowserDialog will not let me select ...
I'm having this weird situation : My user's and system's PATH variable is different than the PATH in powershell. When I do : PS C:\$env:path C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;c:\oldpath However this is not correct, it looks like it stuck on some old PATH variable of my system, so none of the udpates I've done on it didn't...
