Where to place file in order to read?

Hey, where do I place a text file that I\'m trying to read using fstream? In this tutorial, http://www.gamedev.net/reference/articles/article1127.asp, they say

ifstr

Answer 1

input.txt should be in the working directory. Usually the working directory is the directory containing the executable. In the case of Visual Studio, the working directory when run in the debugger can be set in the Debug options.
