Where does Xcode create .txt files to?

Question

http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/files/

I just finished executing this but I didn't get any file on my desktop.

So where does the .txt file get placed on my computer?

// basic file operations
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
    ofstream myfile;
    myfile.open ("example.txt");
    myfile << "Writing this to a file.\n";
    myfile.close();
    return 0;
}

Answer 1

Damn... I've seen this post never answered many times..

Here's the solution

In your project navigator when you're working in your current project there are many files. Try products (if I remember) and look for the executable file. Now go to the properties inspector or whatever is called. (Right side of your Xcode.)

There you will find somewhere a part called PATH the path that is written over there. It's the path where the executable runs. That means there is where you'll find all the files you create with your program.

Try it... that's how I manage and look my .txt files since sometimes I wanna give them some kind of formatting.

I hope I've solved your problem... cheers! ;)

Click on the executable in the Products tab on the left hand side, and you should see the path to it displayed on the right in the utilities section. This is where they are saved. On my computer this path is:

/Users/myName/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/CurrentXcodeProject-adsnvetbleazktcgitfymfcbhkkt/Build/Products/Debug/filename.txt
