Hello,

I am trying to get histograms from a ROOT file, and clone them into the ROOT file and use them for fitting. I have attached my code below

const char *DATA_FILE_PATH = "DATA.root";
TFile DATA_INFILE(DATA_FILE_PATH);
TH1F *clone[4];
	for (int b = 0; b < 4; b++){
		TString HistName = "";
		HistName += StrLabels[b];

		TH1F *temp;
		DATA_FILE_PATH.GetObject(HistName, temp);
		clone[b] = (TH1F*)temp->Clone();
	}

The error I am receiving is

error: request for member 'GetObject' in 'DATA_FILE_PATH', which is of non-class type 'const char*'
   DATA_FILE_PATH.GetObject(HistName, temp);

HistName are names of the histograms in the ROOT file that I want to clone, and I would like to save the histograms in an array. I am not sure how to fix this.

Thank you very much!

Best,

DATA_INFILE.GetObject(HistName, temp);
