error passing 'const Filesys'

cory244 (43)
I am getting an error line 5 of filesys about passing 'const Filesys' as 'this' argument of std:string Sdrive I am not able to see why looks like it is passing correctly to me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You are not allowed to call a non-const member function from a const member function. You probably want Sdrive::getname() to be const.

Ah gotcha, thank you but I am still getting an error in that section lines 56 says no matching function for call to Sdrive::Sdrive(std::string&)? I appreciate it.
YokoTsuno (60)
I can't see that call in the above code, but I presume you do not have an overloaded constructor that only takes in a string as parameter. Post your new code.

Thank you in advanced, when I change it from Sdrive(filename) to Sdrive(getname)

Throws the error: no matching function call to Sdrive::Sdrive (<unresolved overloaded function type>)'
Zhuge (4664)
getname is the name of a function. Did you mean to actually call the function? I think you really do want filename there though, as calling Sdrive's method won't be useful since it hasn't even been constructed yet.
YokoTsuno (60)
Like I said somehow Sdrive does not have: Sdrive::Sdrive(string filename). Check "Sdrive.h"
Zhuge (4664)
Looking at the OP, it seems to be commented out on line 3. TC, I suggest you check the header file that defines Sdrive as suggested.

Awesome thanks guys think I got it figured out now. Sorry so late on reply been busy week just now got to test this out, thank you to all of you.
