How to create a temporary text file in C++?

Question

I\'m trying to create a temporary text file in C++ and then delete it at the end of the program. I haven\'t had much luck with Google.

Could you tell me which funct

Answer 1

Well, assuming you have been successful in creating the temporary file, you can use the remove function to delete it.

The function is declared in stdio.h -

#include 

int remove(const char *pathname);

For example, if you want to delete a file named myfile.txt the code will be

#include

int main()
{
  if(remove("myfile.txt") == -1)
  {
    fprintf(stderr,"Remove failed");
    exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
  }
  exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
}

I hope by now, you already know how to create the temp file, so this should resolve your query. Hope it helps.
