I have been trying to delete several files by using wildcard using either
remove or _unlink, but non of them seems to work.
char temp_files[MAX_PATH];
strcpy(temp_files, "c:\tmp*.*");
_unlink(temp_files); // doesn't work
remove(temp_files); // doesn't work either
Can someone please tell me how I delete several files using wildcard?
Thanks in regards,
Jess

Windows: you can FindFirstFile, FindNextFile loop.

But what if I'm not using windows?
O.P.:
The remove() function is for removing a single file.
You will need to use operating system functions for
deleting more than one file at a time.
You could use the system() function and specify
the OS command for deleting many files.
For more information about deleting many files,
please consult a newsgroup about your platform.
See the FAQs and Welcome.txt listed below.
