# Today's code - improved the RESET functionality, and now we're gonna see how to open a file if it's not in the working directory.

# basically you just assume the start of your string is the working directory, and then continue from there, with NO OPENING SLASH.

# So if the working Directory is C:\Python, and the file u need is in C:\python\saves\save01.txt, you would type:

    file = open("saves/save01.txt","r")
    # NOTE THE SLASH IS BACKWARDS.

# What if the file is not in a subdirectory of the root directory tho?

# Then you need an absolute path, which for windows is, let's say:

savedata = open(r"C:\Python\TestDir\06_Save.txt","r")
