hello

i'm kind learning c++ and new to it, for a code like :

dbLoadImage("my_image.jpg", 1);

instead of using "my_image.jpg"i want to use a varibale, like :

char c_imageName[100];
c_imageName = "my_image.jpg"
dbLoadImage(c_imageName , 1);

but this code won't compile, it returns error "can't convert const char[18] in char[100]"

the help give : void dbLoadImage ( char* szFilename, int iImage )

so how to use a variable to give it a filename to load ?

thanks for helping

You can't assign a char array the value of a string literal that way except at the time of declaration. You can either do

char c_imageName[100] = "my_image.jpg";

or

char c_imageName[100];
strcpy (c_imageName, "my_image.jpg");

You'll need to include the "string.h" header for the latter.
