I have Xcode 4.2.1, where does it run the program from on that version? It doesnt work to type "../../Data", neiter just "Data"..

@paraglidingtom You can now download the source code for this project at github.c_om/lucasd2 (without _). Just download the zip of the AppleProg-C-Tutorials repository.

Hi Lucas, i've used this method but when i archive the app and install it on another computer it still looks for my data file at the path i typed in and not in the bundled file. Is there a way to connect to the bundled file?

Thanks, these tutorials are so helpful!

@iBig13 You could also just make the data file called Data and make that the location (without the ../../). That way you could just put it with your program

[AppleProgramming]

@iBig13 I believe it would work if you put it Build folder. Let me know what happens.

[AppleProgramming]

@iBig13 Actually yes, and I absolutely dread how they did it. It's in the most hidden folder, but here it goes:

username/Library/Developer/Xco­de/DerivedData/your_project_na­me/Build/Products/Debug/your_p­rogram

You may want to add that area to the sidebar :D

Thank you. More practices on pointers will be more helpful for me (computer network and system programming).
