I wrote code that searchs ".data" files in directory, when i do it in this way, works perfectly:
std::string path("C:\\Users\\MyPC\\OneDrive\\Desktop\\Database");
std::string ext(".data");
std::string Datas[50];
int DataCounter = 0;
for (auto& p : fs::recursive_directory_iterator(path))
{
if (p.path().extension() == ext) {
Datas[DataCounter] = p.path().stem().string();
++DataCounter;
}
}
but when I input same directory from using std::cin, it throw unhandled exception error. Code like this:
std::string path("C:\\Users\\MyPC\\OneDrive\\Desktop\\Database");
std::string ext(".data");
std::string Datas[50];
int DataCounter = 0;
SetColor(2);
std::cout << "Please type a path to search database: ";
SetColor(7);
std::cin >> path; //Entered same path. C:\\Users\\MyPC\\OneDrive\\Desktop\\Database
for (auto& p : fs::recursive_directory_iterator(path))
{ //^ exception thrown here
if (p.path().extension() == ext) {
Datas[DataCounter] = p.path().stem().string();
++DataCounter;
}
}
Error message is this:
Unhandled exception at 0x764640B2 in Interpol Database.exe: Microsoft C++ exception: std::filesystem::filesystem_error at memory location 0x00AFE4B8.
Interestingly;
std::cin.ignore()
Solves the problem.
