loading a file as argument

[Tom Carly]

Hi,

if I use this:

ifstream f("file.txt")

it works


but if I do this:

in something.hh I add this line:
String _filename;
and in something.cc I use this:
ifstream f(_filename)
and have this as configure function:

int
Something::configure(Vector<String> &conf, ErrorHandler *errh)
{
    return cp_va_parse(conf, this, errh,
                       cpFilename, "file to load", &_filename,
                       0);
}

and in the router configuration I use this:
Something("file.txt")
then it doesn't work...

What do I do wrong?

thank you in advance

tom
