    This is in the wrong forum - you are using C
    You probably have your filename / path wrong - my_file i imagine is my_file.txt or something like that - you need to specify it exactly - and it will only work like that (without a path) If you are opening it in the same folder as your binary - you should always define the whole file path + name anyway - use args / input to retrieve it or hardocde it exactly as it should be

    you may well work in c++ but that example is written in C - and posted in the C++ forum

    what is the actual name of your file? does it have an extension part?
