title: ifstream ofstream on mac
body: <p>I'm trying to read in a random file (on mac-xcode) and determine the instances of the letter k in the document. Then print the number as an outout file. My problem is that the outfile isn't being written and the nums_k is coming back as 0. I'm not sure if the ifstream is working incorrectly or the ofstream need a different filename established. Here's my source code. </p>
  
  <pre><code>#include &lt;iostream&gt; 
  #include &lt;fstream&gt; 
  #include &lt;string&gt;  
  using namespace std;  
  
  int main() { 
  
      ifstream infile("Users/bryanmichaelnorris/documents/extra credit    assignment.docx"); 
  
      string line; 
      int numks = 0;  
  
      while (getline(infile,line)) {     
           int x = 0;         
           for (std::string::iterator it=line.begin(); it!=line.end(); ++it) {            
               if (line[x] == 'k') {                 
                    numks++;            
               }            
               x++;         
           }     
      }         
  
      infile.close();     
      ofstream outfile("number of k's.docx");   
      outfile &lt;&lt; "There are " &lt;&lt; numks &lt;&lt; " K's in the file." &lt;&lt; endl;
      outfile.close();        
      return 0;
  }
