Boost Filesystem copy_file()

[RobNO]

Hey everyone! I am wondering why this code keeps throwing me exceptions and how I can fix this problem.

#include <boost/filesystem.hpp>
namespace bf = boost::filesystem;
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
string e_string = "Error";
int main()
{
string fileName = "C:\\Downloads\\Hits from the Bow\\01 This Time You're Gonna Get it Dir.mp3";
string destination = "c:\\downloads\\test" ;
bf::path fileCopied(fileName);
bf::path fileCopiedDestination (destination);
if (!bf::exists(fileCopied) )
{
cerr << e_string;
}
if (!bf::exists(fileCopiedDestination))
{
cerr << e_string;
}
try
{
bf::copy_file(fileCopied,fileCopiedDestination);
}
catch(std::exception e)
{
cout << e.what();
}
}

Thanks for your time :)

Okay So I found out away for the copy_file() function to work

#include <boost/filesystem.hpp>
namespace bf = boost::filesystem;
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
string e_string = "Error";
int main()
{
string fileName = "C:/Downloads/Hits from the Bow/01 This Time You're Gonna Get it Dir.mp3";
string destination = "c:/downloads/test/this is why it wouldnt work.mp3" ; //right here
bf::path fileCopied(fileName);
bf::path fileCopiedDestination (destination);
if (!bf::exists(fileCopied) )
{
cerr << e_string;
}
if (!bf::exists(fileCopiedDestination))
{
cerr << e_string;
}
try
{
bf::copy_file(fileName,destination);

}
catch(std::exception e)
{
	cout << e.what();
}

}

I did not specify the file name. But I do not think this actually solves the full problem because An exception is still being thrown, any ideas at all?

sorry for the spam.. I think i figured it out. The destination file also dosnt exists in the first place. Thanks anyways.. If any one has any comments i would be happy to hear them!

Suggestion: Your original question states that you get an exception, but you did not post the message raised by the exception. People reading your question cannot guess what that exception might be.

It's time for a new signature.
