Command Line substitution

[mickelin]

This might be a really stupid question, but in the description of the command line substitution, it says that the %PATH% variable returns the target path in Linux-style, with /-separators, rather than Windows-style \-separators. I thought this was just a "feature" of the documentation, but when I run, it seems to actually return frontslashes and that makes the path invalid on my system. How do I get it to return a valid Windows path with backslashes?

Thanks,

Scratch that, it seems to work now anyway, with front slashes. It just looks wierd to my old DOS eyes ...

Actually, it does cause some problems. I'm using DirMon2 to trigger DVRMSToolbox (DTb) as new dvr-ms recordings show up. DTb uses a list of files to check if a dvr-ms file has already been processed. Since files processed through the DTB gui are stored with \ and files processed via DirMon2 are stored with /, they appear as separate files and are processed twice. Not a big problem, but disturbing and can potentially lead to errors. Any reason why DirMon2 does not use standard Windows path conventions?

Other than this I have it all working now, excellent program!

When I was writing DirMon, I was new to the Boost libraries. I didn't realize that there was a native_file_string() and used file_string() instead. I'll fix it in an upcoming release.
