How can my application get my working directory?

Hello,
I am writting a program ( in C++) that reads text files and extracts data from them. I want to put the program in the file:/bin directory and run the program from the location of the input text files mentioned above, How can I do this without prompting the user to type in the full path of the input text files?

Thanks

Code:

chdir("/bin")

in C or C++

Thsnks, but I was making it more difficult than it should have been. I took out all attempts at inputting any kind of path and it works fine.
