Re: [dcplusplus-devel] ValidateFileName problem on Macintosh...

[Jacek S. <arn...@gm...>]

Well, two separate functions would indeed be reasonable...keep in mind that each OS has its own
rules so I'd expect mac to be slightly different as well...windows names are extra ugly (lots of
reserved names etc) and the current code doesn't take all cases into consideration (see
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365247.aspx, for example CON, NUL and friends)...
Maybe the easiest way to handle paths would be to split them into their respective components and
then validatefilename for each part, considering also dots and the like...oh, and / is a valid path
separator on windows most of the time...

oh, and itinerants, find_first_of might interest you (instead of repeating those loops =)
