xkpasswd-words.txt not found when run from a different folder from the executable

The file xkpasswd-words.txt is not found when xkpasswd-go is run from another directory than the folder containing xkpasswd-words.txt or xkpasswd-go.

Copying xkpasswd-words.txt to the same folder where xkpasswd-go is located does not help and the same error is shown

readLines: open xkpasswd-words.txt: no such file or directory

Steps to reproduce:

  1. go get -v -u github.com/vot/xkpasswd-go
  2. cp $GOPATH/src/github.com/vot/xkpasswd-go/xkpasswd-words.txt $GOPATH/bin
  3. xkpasswd-go

output:

readLines: open xkpasswd-words.txt: no such file or directory

If I cd into GOPATH/bin and run the command again then it works as expected:

  1. cd %GOPATH/bin
  2. xkpasswd-go

output:

Thanks @glowinthedark for raising the issue.
I'll try to fix it soon - it shouldn't be too difficult to inject the directory in which binary is located in the dictionary path.

Hi @glowinthedark,

Once again thanks for raising both issues.

I just fixed this issue in this commit:
f95e2d0

Using os.Executable() to get the location of executable file and appending the filename at the end now (instead of current working directory).
Let me know if this fixes it.
