if((stSourcePath.size==0)||(stDestPath.size==0)) Isn't size a function?? It should probably be if((stSourcePath.size()==0)||(stDestPath.size()==0)) and you should be getting a compilation error?!!

Hey, I saw that! I was fairly sure it was C++, but noticed size didn't have the parantheses. That's why I said the language looks alien. I was looking for a runtime error. :| But Swathi can have your beer; I'm a teetotaller. ;P
Cheers, Vıkram.
After all is said and done, much is said and little is done.

There are many objects that expose values through member variables, so when you mix them up with the objects that uses functions to return values, you'll get confused. In particular when the object supports both ways.

That's why I use
std::string.length:) (or was it length() :doh:) -

How does stSourcePath.size==0 even compile?! Also, is something wrong here: vec_stMovedFiles.push_back(&stDestPath); return; You are storing the address of a stack variable followed immediately by a return. The use of the variable must be after the return, at which point the variable is no longer valid.

Please check my reply to Optimus Chaos Linkety[^] actually I modified/typed the code here online just to make it simpler to understand. I just copied the string name from the previous line, so the "&" thing came along!

Yup I know :). The reason just explained above.

IIRC, VC++ 6.0 would let things like this compile.
