Question

I am trying to write out a text file to: C:\Test folder\output\, but without putting C:\ in.

i.e.

This is what I have at the moment, which currently works, but has the C:\ in the beginning.

StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(@"C:\Test folder\output\test.txt");

I really want to write the file to the output folder, but with out having to have C:\ in the front.

I have tried the following, but my program just hangs (doesn’t write the file out):

(@"\\Test folder\output\test.txt");

(@".\Test folder\output\test.txt");

("//Test folder//output//test.txt");

("./Test folder//output//test.txt");

Is there anyway I could do this?

Thanks.

Thanks for helping guys.

A colleague of mine chipped in and helped as well, but @Kami helped a lot too.

It is now working when I have:

string path = string.Concat(Environment.CurrentDirectory, @"\Output\test.txt");

As he said: “The CurrentDirectory is where the program is run from.
