Hi,

I have a little shell script that does a handy function at my work. I was wanting to make it into an easy to use exe file for my colleagues using Windows.

It's relying on directory changing and file searching. Its basically a simple file locator using a long int input by the user.

So having used Python and wanting to learn C++ I thought this would be a good project for that.

I have been doing some research on directory navigating in C++ to find its not as simple as with Python and BASH.

Am I missing something ?
Seems Boost library is pointed to a lot and many home baked solutions, but nothing standard.

Am I search for this in a poor manner ?

Any tips appreciated.
