ITK conversion error (char to const char*)

[jowana]

Hi,

what does this error mean?

: error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'char' to 'const char *'

i'm trying to read an image from a file using this code:

#include "itkImage.h"
#include "itkImageFileReader.h"

int main( int , char * argv)
{

typedef unsigned char PixelType;
const unsigned int Dimension = 2;

typedef itk::Image<unsigned short, 2> ImageType;

typedef itk::ImageFileReader< ImageType > ReaderType;

ReaderType::Pointer reader = ReaderType::New();

const char * filename = argv[1];
reader->SetFileName( filename );

reader->Update();

ImageType::Pointer image = reader->GetOutput();

return 0;
}

what is wrong?
I already took this code from the ITK librray.

You've defined argv as a pointer to char. It needs to be either an array of pointers to char, or a pointer to pointer to char:

int main(int argc, char *argv[])

int main(int argc, char **argv)
