delete file

[butthead]

I have never been able to use the remove
funtion to delete files in the builder environment.
so I have relied upon the DeleteFile function native to builder. I am writing some code that I wish to keep
strictly C++ or C and not rely upon the borland stuff.

I am looking for portablilty. could any one help me
with this code.

#include <stdio.h>

int delete_file (char *s)
{
  int rtval;
  rtval = remove(s);
  return rtval;
}

it always returns a -1 and does not delete the file.

thanks in advance

you know when you do something real stupid,
you kinda feel real stupid.

like when I posted this problem I just forgot that I had solved that problem two years ago. I guess we all know how long its been since I used " remove (); " in my code.

so as usual never mind and thanks for all the help.

I think Ill go to sleep now.
