Path of output file

[Ionos]

Hello everybody!I have a question, for the output file of my code.
I use the ofstream to create a file like this...

  ofstream myOutFile;
  myOutFile.open("output.txt");

What i want is to print the path of the output file so the user will
know where the file is.Please help guys.

Why not specify the path yourself, e.g.

char filename[] = "C:\\files\\output.txt";
ofstream myOutFile(filename);

and then simply print the filename.

This is a good way to do it but i dont want to change the path of the file
i simply want to take the path and print it.I try to do it with GetModuleFileName
but i can't.

Well, I'm not sure whether there's a standard way to do this. Here's a way which works with my compiler on a Windows system.

#include <iostream>
#include <dir.h>

    using namespace std;

int main()
{
    char buffer[512];
    getcwd(buffer, 512);
    cout << "The current directory is: " << buffer << endl;
       
    return 0;
}
