    Exclamation C++ simple problema

    I am trying to delete and rename a file
    I get the error
    Permission Denied
    what's the problem?
    The code looks fine.




    if( remove( "issuer_book_log.txt" ) != 0 )
    perror( "Error deleting file" );
    elseputs( "File successfully deleted" );

    Your application either doesn't have permission to delete the file, or the file is open. Make sure that the file is not open. If that doesn't work, try running the application as an administrator or super user.

    What is errno set to after the remove() call fails?
