error when initialize ifstream with string

[Lingyun Yang]

hi every one,

I meet a compile error in my small homework program:
Can I innitialize ifstream with a string?
or I must come back to char* style string?
Thank you!

Lingyun
//----------- here is part of my small program ---------------
string dicname("tofel.bok.gb2312");

char buf[256];
ifstream fdic(dicname);
while(fdic.getline(buf,256))
{}

//---------------- Here is the compile error ------------------

The fstream constructors do require a char* style string, but fortunately
it is trivial to get one from a std::string: just apply the c_str() member
function, e.g.:
ifstream fdic(dicname.c_str());
-leor



Thank you!
