Question

So in Code::Blocks in Ubuntu (latest).

I have a project in which I load a file and read a number from it.

#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
int main(){
    ifstream in("data/file.t");
    int n;in>>n;
}

now with a cout<<n it shows -1203926 (and other random numbers) though the number in the file is 0.

data is where the binary is(I mean data and binary are in the same folder(Program)) and I was expecting the path to be relative like in Windows… but only if I put the full path /home/csiz/Desktop/C++/ep0/Program/data/file.t it will get me a 0.

Can you tell me how to make it a relative path? I would prefer something so that in Windows the code can compile without any changes.

Answer 1

After using the absolute path I found the mistake.

In codeblocks you can enter the working directory (that in wich it will launch the program) and I accidentally put a . in there.
