return 0;
}

data file

I added the data file to my Xcode project

error message
/Users/nollroberts/Xcode/indata/build/Release/indata ; exit;
noll-roberts-imac-2:~ nollroberts$ /Users/nollroberts/Xcode/indata/build/Release/indata ; exit;

Hi, welcome to the forums.

Where does 'data.dat' live? I was able to compile and run your code, however, you need to give an absolute path for your data file. Something like:

inData.open("/Users/blah/data.dat");

Is the file data.dat located in the same directory as the executable? A "ls" in that directory will clear that up..
