how to access a text file while debugging with eclipse CDT

Question

I am writing this code to access a file in eclipse CDT

ifstream inFile;
ofstream outFile;
string next;

inFile.open(\"input.txt\");
if (inFile.fail())
{

It could be an issue with relative paths. Is input.txt in the root directory of your project? Eclipse makes the top-level directory of the project the working directory. If you replace "input.txt" in your code with the fully qualified file name, that should also work.
