You can use -
remove(char* path);
in <cstdio>, but your path will need to be either "C:\\test\\null.txt" or "C:/test/null.txt".
hmm i dunno what u mean, like whats that char*? all i know is path is the directory. i tried...
remove (c:\\test\\null.txt);
that didnt work... could anybody help me?
what does he mean by the char* part?
Help!
You have to open an ofstream for that particular file before you can remove it.
Example:
ofstream temp;
temp.open(c:\temp\test.txt);
remove (c:\temp\test.txt);
temp.close();
