Passing a filename to f.open()

[Sebouh]

Hi all.
I'm having problems with this functions.
I want to read from a file where the filename is in argv[1] of main. I can't seem to pass a char*, i need a const wchar_t *. Can anyone tell me how can i deal with this? I've been searching google for more than an hour and can't find how to convert char* to wchar_t, or anythign that helps.

thanks alot.

Check this out:

char *orig = "Hello, World!";
cout << orig << " (char *)" << endl;

// Convert to a wchar_t*
size_t origsize = strlen(orig) + 1;
const size_t newsize = 100;
size_t convertedChars = 0;
wchar_t wcstring[newsize];
mbstowcs_s(&convertedChars, wcstring, origsize, orig, _TRUNCATE);
wcscat_s(wcstring, L" (wchar_t *)");
wcout << wcstring << endl;

mbstowcs is part of stdlib.h
