get filename from ifstream?

[Thomas Schaefer]

Hi all,

I have a rather uncommon problem: I get an ifstream but I don't know the
name of the file connected to this ifstream.

Is there any way to get the file name out of an ifstream?

TIA
Thomas

No there is not. But in order to open the file, you
had to supply the name. Just save that.
