I've learnt a bit of File i/o and have made a simple Bank Manager using txt files. I was wandering if there was anyway to make the text documant be saved somewhere else other than the folder that the .exe file is saved in.
Thanks in advance

Yes - just specify the whole path of the file and it will be saved in that folder.
how do you specify the whole path. I call it by doing
("example.txt")
Depending on your OS (Unix doesn't use drive letters), you just start with the drive letter and go all the way to the file extension.
[code]("C:\folder1\folder2\file.type")[code]
That's an absolute path. What you are doing is called a relative path. You can also access subdirectories that way:
Code:("subdir1\file.type")
thank-you
