inFile.open(fileA.c_str());
if(inFile.is_open()){
//File is open
}

That code should work provided that a both dir/ and dir/book.data exist in the working directory.

if (location.length() != 0){
//string temp = "/"
location = "~/" + location + '/';
}
fileA = location + fileA;
cout << "<font color=Blue>" << fileA << location << type << key << "</font>";
ifstream inFile; //File input from the users program call
//Associates authorData with AuthorInfoData header

//Associates bookData with BookInforData header
BookInfoData bookData;
//Variables used to temporarily store information being read in
string num, fName, lName, code, title, pubCode, type, price, pBack;
//Variables used to varify data being readin is valid
string line;
int count;
int lineNum;

if(inFile.is_open()){
