How about this: for (int i = 0; i != NumWChars; ++i) absPath[i] = std::tolower(absPath[i], std::locale()); seems to be working just fine?

You have two assumptions here: Assumption 1: For each lowercase character, there is an equivalent uppercase character, and vice versa. This is not true in half a dozen languages ac...

Right, but maybe if you switch to using tolower_l() and pass an appropriate locale you can get it to work the same way. I'm not sure what locale that would have to be, but it needs to match whatever NTFS uses for its $upcase file. On Oct 3, 2011, at 12:19 PM, Nikola Smiljanic wrote: > CharLowerW does the right thing.

...believe the concern about performing a char-by-char conversion is valid; for example the NTFS-3G driver uses a simplistic upcase table and seems to work fine. I suspect Windows does the same.

CharLowerW does the right thing. But I still need Windows.h to use it :) On Mon, Oct 3, 2011 at 8:43 PM, Bryce Cogswell <bryceco at gmail.com> wrote: > Locale-specific is not what we want, but I don't believe Windows exposes an > alternative API that does what we want.

Locale-specific is not what we want, but I don't believe Windows exposes an alternative API that does what we want. (Does CharLower give a different answer than tolower?) However, looking over the FileManager code a little more I'm not even sure using the path is the best solution, it seems it would be better to use inode like the unix code does. Windows doesn't support inode (the
