Frage
Looking for a simple program to a delete a file written in ANSI C.
Just as an example how would you delete a file at "C:\test.txt" with C?
Lösung
You can delete a file from the OS using the remove()
function. Like so:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(){
if(remove("HELLO.txt") == -1)
perror("Error in deleting a file");
return 0;
}
The remove()
function is defined in stdio.h
. Here are some docs.
Andere Tipps
Use the remove
function. I believe it is in "stdio.h"
remove or unlink
remove is declared in 'stdio.h'
unlink is declared in 'unistd.h'
unlink is posix function, remove is ansi C function. They all work fine in windows.
unlink only delete files, remove can be used to delete directories.
