I'm supposed to read a file from the same executable as my other header files, i'm required to just specify the file name. How can i do that?

Set the working directory.

I am generalising terribly here, but the younger generation seem to not have a grasp on the command line interface.
If they did, then setting the working directory wouldn't sound so alien.

It's akin to

cd \Users\Zuto\Projects\FileLoader
Debug\FileLoader.exe

In the above example, \Users\Zuto\Projects\FileLoader becomes the active directory.
You launch your program from there using a relative path.
This program, when asked to open "data.txt" will look for that file in \Users\Zuto\Projects\FileLoader.
