[z7tjxd45]

	ifstream fin;
	fin.open("/Users/Mike/Desktop/data.txt");
	if (fin.fail())
	{
		cerr <<"Unable to open data.txt" << endl;
		exit(1);

Is what I have. and Xcode tells me "Error from Debugger. The program being debugged is not being run. I also get an error in terminal.

data.txt is on the desktop. What am I missing here?

It works for me. Are you sure that file exists?

Are you using #include <fstream>?

I had problems before, what i did was put go into preferences to look for the derived files and put the data text inside the debug folder.
