Reading txt files in Xcode

Blanchdog (6)
I have a program that needs to be able to have a file name inputted and from that input open a txt file to be read from. But I can't seem to get it to open them. I have the text files and all the cpp files and all the header files in the same folder.

You more than likely need to go to Product -> Scheme -> Edit Scheme and change the Working directory to the directory where the appropriate data files are located or will be located.

I've gotten into the scheme editor, but I'm not sure where to go from there to change the working directory. How do you do that?

change the working directory about halfway down the form - tick custom directory
