I/O question

Hi there, im currently learning about the <fstream> library

Basically im to write two programs, one to write to a file(app1), and one to read from the file that was created from the first app(app1)

heres some code ive written to help explain my question:

The below code is for the app ive built to create a .txt file called "Student Names" and writes "John" "James" & "Joe" to that file

Code:

#include<fstream>
#include<iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
	
	ofstream sfile ("Student Names");
	
	cout << "\nThis program will store some names to a file called 'Student Names'";
	
	sfile << "John" << "\nJames" << "\nJoe";
	
	sfile.close();
	
	return 0;
	
}

the path for the above app is stored in /home/user/workspace/StudentW

The second program ive written, im trying to read from the "Student Names" file created in the first app, and to print in the consol shell:

Code:

#include<fstream>
#include<iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
	char str[50];
	
	ifstream sfile ("Student Names");
	
	cout << "\nThis program will read the names from 'Student Names' created from the 'StudentW' app";
	
	sfile >> str;
	
	cin.get();
	
	return 0;
}

Because the second app is store in /home/user/workspace/StudentR how do i apply the path in the ifstream class?

Thanks in advance

You could prepend ../ to both paths, having the file in your workspace directory, perhaps?
