Hi, I'm working on a portable ANSI C++ application designed to compile and execute under Windows and LINUX/UNIX. Is there a portable way of obtaining the current working directory? Sorry, if I'm being stupid... Thanks, Shaun Back to top Victor Bazarov Guest Posted: Wed Oct 27, 2004 2:06 pm    Post subject: Re: Portable way of obtaining current working directory.....

Is there a portable way of obtaining the current working directory? Sorry, if I'm being stupid... You're not being stupid, you're just being in the wrong newsgroup. I'd recommend asking in both Windows (comp.os.ms-windows.programmer) and Linux (comp.os.linux.development.apps) newsgroups. If you care about UNIX, you'd have to extend your search to the appropriate UNIX newsgroup too. The trouble is, C++ doesn't have any way of obtaining "current" or "working" directory because it doesn't have the concept of 'a directory'.

See http://www.boost.org/libs/filesystem/doc/index.htm which supports windows and POSIX file systems in a semi-portable fashion.
