hey guys, is there a way to send a file name as a string? I get an error if I leave out the quotes around fileName, and the opening failes if they are there...any suggestions? assume that the file that user input exists in the directory ofcourse...
Code:
void generateText(string fileName, int window, int length, char* text)
{
ifstream inStream;
inStream.open(fileName); // the problem is here...I assume
if ( inStream.fail() )
{
cout << "Input file opening for " << fileName << " failed. Exiting...\n\n";
exit(-1);
}
}
thanks, axon
