Prevent opening file stream with incorrect case of letters

I want to prevent std::basic_ifst ream from opening a file for reading when
it is passed the file name with any wrong case of a letter. If that can't
be done is there anything else that could be done before opening? The
program is for Windows.

Easy. Just check the string containing the filename if it has the right
case. I suspect you mean that it should match the case of the file as it
appears in the directory though, and for that you'll have to look for
answers in a Windows oriented group.

FindFirstFile will probably do what I want.

Hi, I'm trying to write a function that adds a file-like-object to a compressed tarfile... eg ".tar.gz" or ".tar.bz2" I've had a look at the tarfile module but the append mode doesn't support compressed tarfiles... :( Any thoughts on what I can do to get around this?

I would like the user to be presented with the typical...

I need to know how can I open a file which is named using UTF-16 encoding in unicode. I am desperately trying to open the file using the wofstream typedef, but even it takes the parameter as const char*, I tried converting the filename from UTF16 to UTF8 encoding, wofstream does not seem to work with that. What I gather is that streams internally use fopen for opening up a file, I could not find any way for passing a file descriptor to the...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
