Turbo pascal help:

what's wrong here?

assign (inputfile,'data.txt');
reset (inputfile);


everytime i run this, it says error, file not found, although i have that file there.
the file is of the exactly same name, i checked it a billion times, and I made sure that the directory is correct, it's in the same directory as the program, and i even used chagedir, to make sure it's in the same directory.

why can't pascal find the fuucking stupid file?

I"M SO FUUCKING PISSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did you declare the variable "inputfile" before you assigned it?

yes, i declared it as file of text at the beginning.

I could have sworn this worked last year when I learned turbo pascal.

This year we are learning java, and there's this computer contest today, and it's so easy, except i can't do read/write from file in java and I wrote the whole contest in pascal, and i screwed up cause somehow it can't read/write from file.

but luckily i switched to turing in the end and got 2/5 questions right, i ran out of time.
