• Answer:

  You could use an absolute path to your file: FILE* fp = fopen("c:\\your_dir\\your_file.txt", "r"); if(fp) { // do something fclose(fp); } or a relative path, assuming your file is located in c:/etc and your executable is located in c:/etc/executables: FILE* fp = fopen("../your_file.txt", "r"); if(fp) { // do something fclose(fp); }
