Delete a File

[areric]

Hey everyone,

I have a database which is storing some information about files. Amoung that information is the full path to the file in the format \\servername\directory

If i have a file in that format that i want to delete how can i do this? Do i use some sort of system call or is there an unlink function?

Im using VS6.0 and c++

you may use ANSI function unlink

unlink() is not ANSI function. Corresponding ANSI function is remove().

 

[Cagliostro]

right, by mistake, I wanted to say POSIX, anyway, you may usi this function under both, windows and Linux.

There is an ANSI/ISO function to remove a file, "remove" <stdio.h>
