c++ - Visual C++6 looking for text file in the "solution" directory rather than output directory -
    i have vc++6 project , have following code snippet:   string s; int i=0, indx; ifstream myreadfile;  myreadfile.open("chanmap.txt");   for reason, when run program, looking text file in "solution"/root/dsw directory rather output directory (i.e. debug folder) legacy project, i'm sure settings mangled here , there. ide old me , foreign. appreciated.          for both debug , release projects, specify same path in project settings debugging -> working directory :    other this, ensure run program windows explorer (or command propmpt same path). may need create shortcut, you'd specify directory .   since on windows, can use setcurrentdirectory  within program.
