Basically this is for my aero eng course, so no changing coding language 😉

Im trying to open a file from where Xcode stores the executable, IE in the debug folder.

Code:

	/* open file for input */
	inf=fopen("datafile.txt","r");

Reads it from my home folder (Where the docs folder etc is).

I would like it to read from the Debug folder in the project folder.

I've tried a few things but with no success.

Anyone help?

Cheers!

Did you try something like

fopen ("/this/is/the/path/to/my/Debug/file.txt", "r")​

yet?

When in doubt, print out your current working directory at runtime to see where it's set.
