.txt equivalence for mac?

[Penanito]

So im in some tutorials that involve file making through c++ using fstream. Simple stuff, and i believe my code works correctly, the problem is that im using a mac therefore making the folder .txt wont work (I am using Xcode for my IDE in case that helps. Would anyone happen to know what format i can use to make simple text folders like i would for windows using .txt?

  #include <iostream>
#include <fstream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    ofstream theFile("players.txt");//The code runs successfully, but no folder is made because i dont think mac has a .txt folder type :S
    
    cout << "Enter player's ID, Name, and Money" << endl;
    cout << "press Ctrl+Z to quit\n" << endl;
    
    int id;
    string name;
    double money;
    
    while(cin >> id >> name >> money)
    {
        theFile << id << ' ' << name << ' ' << money << endl;
        
    }
    
    
    return 0;
}

I couldnt find any answers online so maybe ill just have to do these tutorials without practice?

txt isn't a folder, it is a file extension. I would guess that XCode is putting that file in a weird place, but someone with a mac would have to help you there.

I would suggest building/running your programs from the command line, it will be a good skill to have. I would also guess that the output file would be in a more apparent place.

In the Xcode menu, click on Preferences...
In the dialogue box, click on Locations
Look for where the derived data path leads and have a look there.
