create filesystem path

[buoyant siren]

How can I create a filesystem path with the string? I've been searching this up and i can't seem to solve the problem.

In C++, creating a filesystem path is easiest with the standard library’s C++17 std::filesystem (available since C++17).

Example:

#include <iostream>
#include <filesystem>

namespace fs = std::filesystem;

int main() {
// Create a path object
fs::path myPath = "folder/subfolder/file.txt";

std::cout << "Path: " << myPath << std::endl;

// Create directories if they don't exist
fs::create_directories("folder/subfolder");

return 0;

}

If you're using an older compiler (pre-C++17), you’d need Boost.Filesystem instead.

gonna use this thread instead of making a new one. I've made this bit where it replaces the files and it works on linux when it's overwritten while it's running.

However, Windows is different. It would not allow that, for some reason. Is there a workaround for it?
