read from a file then output to another file, very basic!.:Resolved:.

Hello everyone!! I have no Idea what I did wrong in the following program, it simply reads data from a file called test.txt located at C:. The data in the test.txt file is the following:
C 87 89 65 37 98 and it should modify the data and output the data to testavg.out alot located on the C:
here's my code:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;


int main(void)
{
	int t1,t2,t3,t4,t5;
	double average;
	ifstream inFile;
	ofstream outFile;
	char studentId;
	
	
	inFile.open("c:test.txt");
	outFile.open("c:testavg.txt");

	outFile << fixed << showpoint;
	outFile << setprecision(2);

	cout <<"Processing Data" << endl;
	inFile >> studentId;
	outFile<<"Student ID: " << studentId << endl;

	inFile >> t1 >> t2 >> t3 >> t4 >> t5;
	outFile<<"Test sources: " << setw(4) << t1
		<< setw(4) << t2 << setw(4) << t3 << setw(4)
		<< t4 << setw(4) << t5 << endl;

	average = static_cast<double>(t1+t2+t3+t4+t5)/5.0;
	outFile <<"Average test score: " << setw(6)
			<< average << endl;

	inFile.close();
	outFile.close();
	return 0;
}

I think it has somthing to do with the output file, because it doens't seem to create another file, also I thought it was odd when I typed in the following:
outFile.open() the member function open didn't pop up automatically like it did with inFile.open() and i'm using VC.net
Thanks for listening!

The only problem I see with the code are the invalid paths:
"c:test.txt"
and this might even be a forum error. Are you sure you use double backslash ("\\")?

THanks CornedBee that worked great! I never knew you had to have a double '\\'

That's because a single \ is an escape character. It has a special meaning. Specifically, it turns the character immediatly following into something else, e.g. \n -> newline, \t -> tab, \0 -> NUL-character, \" -> " (not ending the string). Therefore a \ cannot simply be a \. To get a \ you must write \\.
