File + stringstream

[dAND3h]

Hey, I am trying to open a file using a concatenation of string and numbers. I have method called loadmap(int level).

This is part of code where problem lies:

std::stringstream ss;
	ss<<"..//Data//Maps//map_"<<level<<"//map_"<<level<<".txt";
	std::string temp = ss.str();
	const char* cstr = temp.c_str();
	FileHandle = fopen(cstr,"r");
	if(FileHandle==NULL)
		return -1;

But it does not work, is there a reason? Is there a better way to do what I am trying?

Add cout<<temp; and post what you get.

Why are you using "//" instead of '/' or '\\' ?

Sorry, I got it sorted, My level name was map_0....but I was passing in 1 to the function. Lol.

@ L B Why not? ;D

Because "//" doesn't work for me?

It's probably SDL specific then ^^
