ostringstream question

Ok, I've posted about this before but this one is for after I tried something someone suggested about replacing a big ol' case statement with this ostringstream to help reduce the code a lot. It makes sense but the compiler doesn't seem to like it so I guess I'm doing it wrong. I'm trying to make a file name out of an int and a piece of text...a filename that I can actually use (i.e. open and read from). How do I make it use it correctly after I make the filename with ostringstream?

Stink, I don't have the error messages from the compiler atm but I'll be back to post those soon. Sorry. Thanks for any advice you could throw my way.

void Hanzi::DisplayRads(int r)
{
  ifstream infile;
 
  ostringstream name;
  int i = r;
  name << "rad" << i << ".txt" << flush;
  cout << "\nname is " << name.str() << endl;
 
  string name2 = name.str();
 
  cout << name2 << endl;
 
  infile.open(name2);
 
  if(!infile)
    cout << "Aw, bummer, the file didn't open!\n";
  else
  { char arry[120];
    int count = -1;
 
    for(int a=0; a<1; a++)
    { infile.getline(arry[++count], 80, '\n');
    } 
 
    for(int b=0; b<60; b++)
    { if((b=0) || (b%2 == 0))
        cout << b+1 << ". " << arry[b];
      else
        cout << "\t" << b+1 << ". " << arry[b] << endl;
    }       
  }        //if(infile) else
     
  infile.close();
 
}              //Hanzi::DisplayRads

Try:

infile.open(name2.c_str());
