Cannot get file to open?
I am trying to get a simple html file to display but I cannot get the file to actually open. I have the file in the same place as my program files but it will not open. Is it a problem with my code or is it something else?
The file name is just "test"

Also, if the file is in an invalid state, I think that you need to

Also, if the file is in an invalid state, I think that you need to
inFile.clear(); before attempting anything.
The problem may be related to how you execute the application.
Paste the commands and user input.
Also, provide a directory listing to see that `test' file.

Have you tested it with other files?
edit: i just checked it and it works fine with the sample file i used.
albeit i had to add a cout/cin to check my results.. maybe you overlooked that?

I have tried it with multiple other text files but it's still not working?
Where does the .txt file need to be saved in order to open it?

If you simply write `test', then the file ought to be in the current working directory.
Note that the `working directory' is not the same as the `directory where the executable is in'.

What is the difference between the `working directory' and the `directory where the executable is in'?

So you're saying my file is in the wrong place?
My .txt and .cpp files are saved in (C:/), and that is wrong?

My "test" file is saved in the same place as my ".cpp" source file but I'm still having issues. I have tried this on multiple computers as well.
I had same problems in past. My mistake was not adding .txt or .xl or whatever file I was trying to open. i.e. lets say your "test" file is a text document. so you need to enter input like this: test.txt
