I'm attempting to create a bunch of files with strings as the variable name..
Example : I get the name Firefox and then append it to the string ".url" to get Firefox.url that is saved as filename.
ofstream name2;
name2.open(filename);
But it gives an error if I try to open a file name as a string. If I hard-coded "firefox.url" it would work however.
Any way around this?
Thanks
Yes, there is no version of "open()" that takes a std::string - you can however use the member function c_str() to get a copy of the content as a "C string" (char array or pointer to char, however you wish to look at it).

Compilers can produce warnings - make the compiler programmers happy: Use them!

Yeah, iow:
Code:name2.open(filename.c_str());
