I'm playing around with opening files but have run into a wall.
Here's a stripped down, simple version of what I have. The problem seems
to be the datatype of filename passed into openfile( ). The error message
alludes to wchar_t, so I changed filename from string to wchar_t to see what
would happen. Then to const wchar_t. Neither option worked.
I'm sure it's something simple. Any ideas?
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
ifstream infile;
ofstream outfile;
int openfile(string filename, char mode) {
if (mode == 'i') {
infile.open(filename, ios::in);
}
if (mode == 'o') {
outfile.open(filename, ios::out);
}
return 0;
}
int main() {
openfile("foo.txt", 'i');
return 0;
}
