    Simple question about file I/O.

    I just got done reading the file I/O tutorial, and i'm wondering, since the functions just create, add to, clear, or open files. Where do I need to place my files. I'm sorry I'm probably very confusing, but I mean....

    Say I want to use several files in my program, and I want them to be created in a common folder in a certain directory, is this possible?

    Like for example I want my program to create a folder (For example a 'myProgam' folder) and then create three files in it (c:\programfiles\myProgram)

    So, I'm just wondering if this is possible, and if so, how?

    Sure, just make the program use a path in the filename tha matches where you want to create the file. E.g.:
    Code:
    int main()
    {
        ifstream fin("c:\\temp\\myfile.txt");
    ...
    }
