Hi,

  I want to test a string to see if it a valid file-name (even if the file does not exist).

Does STLSoft (or PlatformSTL) provide any way to do this?

Thanks,
Adi

No, but it arguably should.

I'm hoping to finally get 1.10-proper going soon, so maybe that can be added in then. Are you interested in working on it with me? :-)

Sure. I can do a Windows version.
Please suggest a proper API.
We can take it off-list.

Did a chunk of this a few days ago. Will send through to you off-list, and we can talk more about it then.

Note: it's somewhat complicated/verbose/constrained because I required it to be C-compatible.

P.S. Nearly there on the other stuff we've been talking about ... ;-)

Started a new project - libpath - on SF, to which I will be releasing in a reasonably short amount of time: the path parsing is 95% complete; the path comparison about 30%.

Interestingly, so far it has no dependency on STLSoft

Am also hoping to get out an article on its design parameters and motivation soon(-ish)
