Sound project code question?

[Mike "riff"]

Started sound project, know my plan where I'm going just can't get past this function call. Anyone who know c++ really well that cant give suggestions.

#include <string>



class CreatureSounds
{
public:
    CreatureSounds();
    ~CreatureSounds();

    char filePath[20] = "../data/sound";
    void getCreatureSound(const std::string& fileName);
private:
    
    unsigned m_creatureSound = 0;
    unsigned m_creatureGroup = 0;
    unsigned m_numChannels = 0;

#include "CreatureSounds.h"
#include "soundsource.h"

#include <iostream>


CreatureSounds::CreatureSounds()
{

}


CreatureSounds::~CreatureSounds()
{

}

void CreatureSounds::getCreatureSound(const std::string& fileName) {

    // how do I get creature name?

    // creatureName = filename

    std::ifstream file(filePath + fileName);

    file.open(fileName);

    if (file.fail()) {
        ERROR_ALERTED;
        std::cout << "File could not be found." << std::endl;

    }

}

solved

void CreatureSounds::getCreatureSound(const std::string& fileName) {

    const std::string& CreatureAttrName = fileName;

    std::ifstream file(filePath + fileName);

    file.open(fileName);

    if (file.fail()) {
        ERROR_ALERTED;
        std::cout << "File could not be found." << std::endl;

    }

}
