    Program Not Producing Output

    Hi

    So I have a basic program that uses a
    Code:
    system("filepath\\input.hnb");
    command to open up a file and run it using its default program (a simulation program). My simulation is able to finish, but does not produce the output that it usually does (it produces .dat files contain data of the simulation run in the same folder as the simulation .hnb file) (when I run the simulation outside of my C program it produces output just fine). I am thinking that this may have something to do with the permissions of my C program. Any thoughts/advice? Thanks

    Use say getcwd() to find out what the current directory is when you call system()
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    Hahahaha thanks.....I feel really stupid, I can't believe I didn't check the program file directory for the output, instead of the simulation file directory
