Thread: please Help!

Hey! im kinda new to programming.. i was doing a console application that allowed me to delete a file. i got that done, but now i was just wondering how to delete a whole folder. is there a way? please help me i cant find it in the tutorial or in the search engine.

ok its really confusing. i didnt find nethig there that worked... im using dev c++. and i cant get it to work can anyone plz give me an example that is not so confusing?

thanx

I don't know if this applies to C++, but my C compiler has a function called rmdir(char *) defined in direct.h. Use it like this...

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <direct.h>

char *s, si[50];

void main()
{
   printf("Directory to delete? -->  ");
   s=gets(si);
   if(rmdir(s)!=0) 
   {
      printf("Could not remove %s\n", s);
      return(-1);
   }
   printf("%s removed.\n");
   return(0);
}

.... although my compiler isn't exactly standard...
