Hey, where do I place a text file that I’m trying to read using fstream? In this tutorial, http://www.gamedev.net/reference/articles/article1127.asp, they say
ifstream fin(“input.txt”);
where would “input.txt” be located? Before I tried directing a path to the file by doing this “C:\Users\XXXXXXX\Documents\test.in”. This however does not seem to work, Incorrect data input with fstream.
I’m using CodeBlocks.
Thanks in advance.
input.txt should be in the working directory. Usually the working directory is the directory containing the executable. In the case of Visual Studio, the working directory when run in the debugger can be set in the Debug options.
