If the file is in the current working directory, it's just a matter of tacking on the extension and opening the file:

string name = "derrick";

ifstream in ( ( name + ".txt." ).c_str() );

If the file is not in the current working directory, you must supply the path to the file as well as the file name. How you go about that depends on the needs of your application, but a good generic method is to ask the user for a path in one way or another.

Be more specific instead of just copying what you asked in your other thread.

thanks and sorry :)
