reading textfiles

When I run the program it has to read from a file called INVENTOR, so when the program exexutes and comes to the part where it has to read from the file it displays
Input file `Inventor':
when i put inventor then press enter i get this message
./program: cannot open file `inventor' for reading (No such file or directory) (error #442 at 11c33)

i want it so the program just reads the file and not prompts me this (Input file `Inventor':) line
how do i fix this?

thanks

This sounds a lot like homework. It is agains EE policy for members to do homework OR for members to request solutions to homework. Has something to do the "academic honesty".

That said, what do you know how to do inPascal? Show us your code so far and we would be happy to answer your specific questions.

Post the code you have written that is giving the trouble and we can try to help.

Procedure LoadFile;
BEGIN
reset(INVENTOR);
Count := 0;
Sum := 0;
WHILE NOT eof (INVENTOR) DO
BEGIN
readln(INVENTOR, id, instock, min, price, name);
Count := Count + 1;
Sum := Sum + price;
end;
writeln('There are ', Count, 'items in stock');
writeln('The total retail is ', Sum);
end; { LoadFile }

I'm sorry i didn't know we had to post the code
This is a section of the code where the file is being loaded, the same problem applies, could you possible help me fix it
