Start C++ console app from shell file
Arch linux OS
1. I have compiled my program successfully.
2. Open Xterm - cd to proper directory which contains the executable and supporting data .txt files and the program runs smoothly.
3. Open gedit and entered
and save it as pattern.sh
when i double click pattern.sh the pattern program opens - some correct data then quickly flashes up and then the xterm window disappears or exits.
After putting in some pauses I have discovered that it is not retrieving data from the .txt files?
All the .txt data files are in the /home/k2/build-Pattern_football-Desktop-Debug/ folder
what does one put in his shell so the needed data files are accessible???

I'll suppose that you are using relative paths, ¿what does `getcwd()' say?
As a convention, data files should be located in
$XDG_DATA_HOME.
$HOME/.local/share
