Question

How can i remove a file from the directory in c++ ?

I know this function int remove ( const char * filename ) deletes the file whose file name is specified in the argument. But it accepts only char* . Is there any other function in c++ that accepts string as it’s argument ?

Answer 1

If you have a std::string, you can get a const char* from it by calling its c_str() member function.

The remove function from <cstdio> is part of the C Standard Library. C has no concept of classes or std::string, hence why the function takes a const char* and not a std::string.
