Hi guys,

I’m trying to get display the file chosen in the log but I keep getting ‘Invalid operands to binary expression (‘juce::String’ and ‘juce::File’)’ as an error message.

This is my code:

FileChooser chooser ("please load a file");
if (chooser.browseForFileToOpen ()){
    auto file = chooser.getResult ();
    DBG(file);
    mFormatReader = mFormatManager.createReaderFor(file);
}

I have tried std::to_string(file) but I keep getting errors.

What am I missing?

I am trying to get back into C++ so any help is much appreciated! :wink:

Try this :

    DBG( file.getFullPathName() );
