loading a file as argument

[Tom Carly]

Hello,

I have created an element that loads a file and reads the values from it. Now 
it should be more flexible. If I need for instance 3 instances of that 
element in the configuration, I should be able to load 3 different files, one 
file per element. How can I do this? Is it possible by just adding an extra 
argument to the element and then using ifstream with that argument? I succeed 
in using arguments and in using ifstream but the combination of both doesn't 
seem to work.

thx
