Thread: iostream problem

Code:

    file.open (pFileName, std::fstream::in);
    if (file.fail())
    {
       cout << "*pFileName:  ";
       for ( int i =0; i <= 7; i++) {
            cout << pFileName[i];  // name is good
       }
       cout << endl;
       std::cerr << "Could not open >" << pFileName << "<\n"; // so is this
       std::cerr << "Error=" << std::strerror(errno) << "\n";  // #include <cerrno>
       AbortTranslation(ac);
       file.clear();
    }

New updated test code above: results are
*pFileName: WOLF.PAS
could not open >WOLF.PAS<
Error=no such file or directory
*** Fatal translator error: failed to open source file

I even copied the WOLF.PAS file into the same directory as the exe
file was in.

I've added exec file parameters many times before in Code::Blocks and DevC++ and never had any problems running the exe with filenames.

This is strange!!!!

Been on hiatus for a week! In the above loop i <= 7 I believe should be i <= strlen(*pFileName) or else whitespace after the file name will not be found!
