remove() function.

Hey guys.

I am attempting to create a function with deleting commands.

PHP Code:


			
void DELGG(){

remove("GameGuard\npgg.erl");

remove("GameGuard\npgl.erl");

remove("GameGuard\npgm.erl");

remove("GameGuard\npgmup.erl");

remove("GameGuard\npsc.erl");

}

i have it placed in attaching and detaching and set it for when my main function executes.

the problem is it doesnt delete. could it be that i have no writing access to those files. i dont think it would be this. any ideas is invited.

Where did you find that remove() function?

as in what sense?

#include "stdio.h" is where it comes from.

"i dont know why it doesnt work but im way too stupid to check for the errors these functions might return"

you have try whit #include <stdio.h>?

i created for you a function.. i don't have try but i think that he worked..

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
if(remove("myfile..") != 0)
{
perror("Error deleting file");
else
{
puts("File successfully deleted");
}
return 0;
}
}

Errors can be:
1- Invalid filename (maybe wrong path from current).
2- The file is in use (try first closing it).
3- You have no permission.

To ensure, I first would check if filename is ok and the file is found:

Code:

if (FILE * file = fopen("GameGuard\npgg.erl", "r"))
    {
        fclose(file);
        remove(file);
    }
