Thread: I really could use some help

Hi.
I wanted that I could typ in the name of the file I wanted to read/write but he gives me an error:

Code:

string LoadFileName;

ifstream Checking ( LoadFileName );// Line 35

Is it that he can't read/write a string as file name?

Here is the error message:

Code:

35 C:\Documents and Settings\Admin\Bureaublad\Time\Time.cpp no matching function for call to `std::basic_ifstream<char, std::char_traits<char> >::basic_ifstream(std::string&)'

The file stream classes take a const char* for the file name, so you just need to call the .c_str() function to pass one. It should be:

ifstream Checking ( LoadFileName.c_str() );

Really really thanks, sorry for making a hole new thread but I didn't know where to search for.
