Moving file from one directory to another

[tewari68]

Hi,
I have a mounted filesystem (debian), and have to move a file after some processing from the temporary directory to another directory.
Don't want to use system call for mv unix command.
Tried using rename C++ function but it doesn't work on mounted file system.
So I am looking for some other built in C++ function, similar to the mv command to accomplish this.
Appreciate if anybody can tell me with t his.
Thanks,
Tewari

Try rename(oldpath,newpath). This ANSI-compliant library function can (by Standard) move a file (but not a directory) from one directory to another.

If it is after some processing, then why don't you just write the out put of processing using a ofstream to the destination, then remove the original?

You could just use a system call of the shell command mv

I think that's why he said:
