Help!!! It keeps saying input file did not open in my program output!

tlowe285 (11)
Here is the program... I need the output to decode a message but it keeps saying input file did not open when I run my program. I use MAC and Xcode to compile! Any help would be great. Thanks!

The file with the input data can be downloaded and saved on your computer. It is called encoded_quotes.txt and the code inside is below....

That's what happens when the file is not in the folder, in this case

"./src/encoded_quotes.txt"

Edit, just to be sure tell me what you think ./src means....

Samuel I have no idea what src stand for....
tlowe285 (11)
What exactly do you mean by file isn't in folder?
tlowe285 (11)
Oh... Its just a variable name. I have no idea how to put the actual file there. I have MAC
tlowe285 (11)
Okay I got file in using:

1
2
3
4
5
 

int main() {
    ifstream infile; //input file stream variable
    infile.open("/Users/Tanner/Desktop/Prog6/Prog6/encoded_quotes.txt");
