Opening files in same directory as script

[Emekadavid]

The textbook I am using didn't specify this problem so I want someone to help me.
I have a text file that is in the same directory as the script file. When I call file open, it tells me it cannot see it.

filehandle = open('box.txt')

The code returns an error that the file or directory doesn't exist.
What should I do to open it.

Your code appears to be correct. Can you post the full traceback error message?

Also, in which directory are you running the script from?

The error message is:
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'box.txt'

I have seen what the problem was just from a question a user asked.
I did not open the folder in vs code and the editor was reading from another folder. So, because someone asked about the folder, I decided to open the folder directly in vs code and it saw the file.
Thanks
