Thread: homework (reading and writing a file)

I use Visual Studio 2010 professional Edition C++. I selected new, then file. In the file box I selected text file. once I opened it up and put the information into it, I saved it. Then I selected project, add it to existing. and it shows up under my project box on the left side off the screen below my source code.

If this is the correct process then maybe there is something in my settings that I need to adjust. any insight on that would be helpful as well. thanks.

Ok you have the file saved... WHERE did you save it?

It has to be in the same folder as the executable for you to open it without a path name. As I mentioned earlier if you are making both debug and distribution copies of the exe file, you will need to put one copy in each folder...

I'll have to do that. thanks
