I'm running DEV and am having trouble with my program finding the .txt files I'm trying to open.
I've had a hard time finding any curriculum on where to store files that need to be called by a program.
Right now, I have the program, both input files, and single output file all in the same folder.
The program will not open any of the files.
Is that an issue with the location of the files, or with the program itself??

#define theBigPicture "The Big Picture.txt" //Our family
//Function Prototypes
class KeepRunning { //Prototype needed to keep console from closing.
public:
~KeepRunning() {
cin.get();}};
//Copies text
int copyLine(ifstream&, ifstream&, ofstream&);
int main()
{

ifstream hisFamily("The Adopted.txt");
ifstream herFamily("The Originals.txt");
