Having trouble with fstream in Xcode

Question

I\'m having trouble validating the existence of REGISTER.txt for input purposes in a function (see below). My understanding is that if the file doesn\'t exist, then the file won

Answer 1

REGISTER.txt is in the same directory as my .cpp file

REGISTER.txt needs to be in the same directory as the binary (build/Release or elsewhere depending on your build settings)

Answer 2

Normally it would be the directory where your program lives. If you want to make sure, use _getcwd to get the current directory or just include the parent directory.

char *_getcwd( char *buffer, int maxlen );

However, you should try not to use the full path for the reason it might not be the same when you run your program on another computer.
