RE: [Dev-C++] delete a file

[Ioannis V. <no...@ya...>]

You didn't specify programming language but i assume C. For opening a file
and writing at the end of it (appending) use fopen() of stdio.h.

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
 FILE *fp=fopen("\\autoexec.bat", "a");

 if(fp==NULL)
{
 printf("Failure!\n");
 return  1;
}

 fprintf(fp, "echo Added by mmy program!\n"); /* With this you add the text
lines you wwant at the end of autoexec.bat */

 return 0;
}


Now for deleting a file you can use remove() defined in stdio.h.

E.g. remove("\\autoexec.bat");


Also you can use system commands (e.g. dos) using the function system()
defined in stdlib.h

e.g. system("del \\autoexec.bat");

or system("deltree /y \\temp);


Be good using this knowledge.
