RemoveDirectoryW()
-
Hi, im using RemoveDirectoryW() ...the problem is.. RemoveDirectoryW(L"c:\\test\\testing"); the above deletes the folder testing but when.... the path to delete is present in two LPCWSTR"s then how can i add them ie... LPCWSTR lpPath1=L"c:\\temp\\folder1\\"; LPCWSTR lpPath2=L"testing\\tester"; i need to pass the combination of the above to RemoveDirectoryW()(finally i should delete tester).....Please let me know how can i do this....

Not sure what you're trying to do. Do you want to delete a directory that has sub-directories? Could you re-phrase your request a bit?

Yes i will ..... I need to delete a folder named "Test" which is present in the folder TEMP(Environment variable)... im able to get the path of TEMP using... WCHAR buffer[1042]={'\0'}; DWORD size=1042; ::GetEnvironmentVariableW(L"TEMP",(LPWSTR)buffer,size); CString csPath; csPath=buffer; im able to get the path of TEMP in csPath... now i have to delete the folder Test which is inside that TEMP folder.... When i use RemoveDirectoryW() i need to pass the path(in LPCWSTR) to Test folder....so please help me to attain this....

To concatenate the two strings, you could use something like this:
LPCWSTR lpPath1=L"c:\\temp\\folder1\\";
LPCWSTR lpPath2=L"testing\\tester";std::basic_string<WCHAR> strPath = lpPath1;
strPath += lpPath2;RemoveDirectoryW(strPath.c_str());
This requires a
#include <string>. Note that I'd recommend generic text mappings (with_T, etc.) instead of just using Unicode directly.

See Dominik's reply below. You also have to consider that RemoveDirectory will only delete empty directories. You might consider using SHFileOperation, here's an example: http://bobmoore.mvps.org/Win32/w32tip28.htm[^]

Sorry i mean to say if only lpPath1 is Cstring and lpPath2 is LPCWSTR then how can i add them and pass to RemoveDirectoryW() Please let me know.....
If you're compiling in Unicode mode, it's basically just the same:
CString strPath1 = _T("c:\\temp\\folder1\\");
LPCWSTR lpPath2 = L"testing\\tester";CString strPath = strPath1 + lpPath2;
RemoveDirectoryW(strPath);
