C++ string pointer params

[Steve Gunawan]

Hi, I am a newbie in C++.

I got an error that I could not shake off. I know it should be a simple one to solve but it just eludes me.

My code fragment is like this :

int main()
{
const TCHAR * pszFile;
pszFile = "C:\\test\\temp\\config\\fcst_conf_00d12ddf.da t";
int ret = loadConfigFile ( pszFile );
return 0;
}

int loadConfigFile ( const TCHAR * pszFile )
{

----------------------

the error occur on this line "int ret = loadConfigFile ( pszFile );"

error C2664: 'loadConfigFile' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'char *' to 'const unsigned short *'
Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast


---

How do I solve this?

Thanks.

do you have a prototype declared somewhere (e.g. in a header file) for loadConfigFile() which is different from

int loadConfigFile ( const TCHAR * pszFile )
 

e.g. something like

int loadConfigFile ( const unsigned short * pszFile )
 

this is easy to do if you are using overloaded C++ functions

oh, wow. it seems i forgot to change the declaration since i was so desperate to try anything...

it's just right in front of me and i couln't see it

thanks a lot..
