Delete file on program exit/close

9 New Member
Hi
Does anybody know how I could delete a file if and when the program is closed using the close (x) button and also (if possible but not necessary) do the same if the process for the program is killed. At the moment I am only able to do this if the ESC key is pressed. i.e. if the ESC key is pressed the program exits and the file in question is deleted.
Thanks for any help.

Windows?

If so, your window with the focus will get a WM_KEYDOWN notification. Just test for the close key and if that's the key, delete your file.

You do this in your WinProc.

Hi
I was talking about the x button in the titlebar of the window.
I'm not sure but the way you have just mentioned is for the x button on the keyboard. Sorry for any misunderstandin g.
Thanks, hope you can help

I am having some trouble rereading a file for input. Here's the problem: I have a text file with some data (football scores) in its lines. First I read them line-by line to figure out how many lines it has. Afterwards I want to read them again, and this time do some processing. However I cannot make my program do this. I tried the following: ############################ #include <iostream>

Hello, I had what I thought was normal text-file and I needed to locate a string matching a certain pattern in that file and, if found, replace that string.

Then, to my surprise, I noticed that there was a space between every character as I outputted the lines to the...

Hi guys, This may be a dumb question; I'm just getting into C language here. I wrote a program to unpack a binary file and write out the contents to a new file as a list of unsigned integers. It works on an IBM mainframe under AIX with GCC, but has trouble on Intel with GCC (DJGPP). I think it's an endian problem. The trouble is, although most values in the extracted list are correct,

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
