another clogger problem

[KingFish <king.fish@myokay.net>]

Hi chummers,

  it's time for another question ^_^:

  in my Class Logger described some mails before i want to return the
  filename in which is logged. This filename is saved in a private
  member variable of char * called m_LogFileName.

  If i want to return this i use following code:

  char *CLogger::GetLogFileName() {

        if(m_LogFileOpen)
                return m_LogFileName;
        else
                return "";

  }

  While m_LogFileOpen is a flag if the logfile opening is successful
  or not.

  If i use this function in my program to get the filename like that:

  char *filename = Logger.GetLogFileName;
  (Logger is a instance of CLogger)

  the compiler stops with following error:

  "error C2440: 'initializing' : 'char *(__thiscall CLogger::*)(void)'
  cannot be converted into 'char *'. There is no context to convert"

  Is anybody able to explain me how i am get rid of that???

  btw, i tried everything out, using arrays, pointers and also to
  return not directly the private member variable, but it doesn't
  work...

  Please help me...

  Thanks.

  btw, what is the diffence between someclass.method and
  someclass->method ???
