Converting an std::string to a const char *

Well, I'd like to keep it that way if I could.

But the ifsteam inputfile function chokes if I try to give it an std::string

that's the "as long as you can" bit :D

use std::string like this

Code:

---

bool MS3DModel::Load_MS3D_Model(const std::string &Filename)
{
        ifstream inputFile( Filename.c_str(), ios::in | ios::binary | ios::nocreate );
// more code here!
}

---

that should work.

Thats what I had in there about 10 posts ago :D

With the assert you mentioned:

Code:

---

bool MS3DModel::Load_MS3D_Model(const std::string &Filename)
{
        assert(Filename.length() > 5 && Filename.substr(Filename.length() - 5) == ".ms3d");
        ifstream inputFile( Filename.c_str(), ios::in | ios::binary | ios::nocreate );
// more code here!
}

Except you were creating a temporary.

And passing by value.
