I'm not a MAC user but it sounds like the data file is not in the same directory as where your program is running. Try putting the full path in the open statement, like this: Note: I don't know a thing about MAC file system so I'll use MS-Windows and you can translate to MAC

inData.open("someFolder\\input.dat");
