Okay, I am having trouble with the following piece of code (in a header file):
#ifndef XML_H_INCLUDED
#define XML_H_INCLUDED
#include "libxml/parser.h"
#include "libxml/xmlwriter.h"
#include <string>
class XmlFile{
public:
XmlFile(string filename){
file = xmlParseFile(filename);
}
xmlDocPtr file; //Pointer to xml file
};
#endif // XML_H_INCLUDED
The file is including in the main source file (but is not accessed, so its contents are not important).
I keep getting the following error (In Codeblocks):
error: cannot convert 'std::string' to 'const char*'
for argument '1' to 'xmlDoc* xmlParseFile(const char*)'|
I have run into this many times, and it is driving me crazy.
I would prefer not to use vectors if possible (adds another step in initializing the function.
What am I doing wrong? I've tried looking this up, but have not found any satisfactory answers.
Thanks in advance.
