 |

How do I delete a file? Like, say I want it to erase a MapleStory.exe, I enter like 5 different filepaths, since there are multiple areas MapleStory gets put into, then it deletes the one it finds? how would I do that?

| Yes, LPCTSTR is a C string (array of characters, or PChar in delphi) |

I was planning on this: Making a button on a delphi program to delete the gameguard folder/change hosts file. Kinda like simple click, but for my own purposes. I can't seem to work the deletefile funct. into a button though, and google sucks for delphi codes. If you know how to work it into a button, please help me appal, I just started delphi yesterday :S...

| To delete a folder you need to first delete all the files in it, then use RemoveDirectory. |

Arrgh...Okay, how would I work deleting the FILES without writing to them first out? All the tuts I find are saying to write to them first, so I don't know how to enter a file path, then have it delete the file at the end of the path...

EDIT: Oups seems that you can use SHFileOperation, but I learned doing this way (It's in C++) "rgValue" holds GG path
| Code: | char searchname[MAX_PATH];
WIN32_FIND_DATA wfdData;
HANDLE hFind;
BOOL keeplooking;
char filename[MAX_PATH];
sprintf(searchname, "%s\\*.*", rgValue);
hFind = FindFirstFile(searchname, &wfdData);
keeplooking = 1;
if(hFind == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE){
MessageBox(Hwnd, Error, "GameGuard Folder Not Found", MB_OK );
}
if(hFind != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
{
while(keeplooking)
{
sprintf(filename, "%s\\%s", rgValue, wfdData.cFileName);
DeleteFile(filename);
keeplooking = FindNextFile(hFind, &wfdData);
}
FindClose( hFind );
RemoveDirectory(rgValue); |
What this does is, it searches the folder, every file it finds it will delete it, and then when no files are found it delete the folder

Actually, that's not true, SHFileOperation can recursively delete files in a folder. |

This is what I got. Make a button on delphi. ON button click tell it to begin deleting with this code.
| Code: |
BOOL DeleteFile(
LPCTSTR lpFileName //In here I put the file directory, that includes like .dll and .exe right?
);
|
For example
| Code: |
BOOL DeleteFile(
LPCTSTR C:\Program Files\Wizet\MapleStory\MapleStory.exe
);
|

^^^ its | Code: | DeleteFile(
"C:\\Program Files\\Wizet\\MapleStory\\MapleStory.exe"
); |
Don't add a hardcoded path.
