I guess, you need to give the relative path to your file and if you are on Linux, try to change the file permission using `sudo chmod 777 file.txt` – Maduka Jayalath Apr 26 '14 at 03:40
you you were right i didnt give the permission to 777 thank you very much – Eduardo Hernandez Apr 28 '14 at 07:59
