Rename a file in C++ on Unix platform

I thought that I explained how to do it, as
have others. I even explained how to avoid
the problem by writing your temporary file to
the right place, instead of to "/var/tmp".
Do you need someone to write the code for
you, or what? What's not clear yet?

Hii...

Thanks alot........
It is working fine now.I have used Preprocessor directives for the compatiblity problem .
#ifdef UNIX

system("mv /var/tmp/xyz.pdf ./Result/abc.pdf");

#else
if(rename(tmpfn[0], filename))
{
map_msg_err("Can't rename temp-PDF file '%s' to '%s'\n", tmpfn[0], filename);
mexit(EXIT_PDFRENAME);
}
#endif

Once again thanking u all for ur valubale suggestions...:-)

Even if this works under some circumstances, I really doubt if "rename" will always "move" your file ... but it's your code ...

Yeah. Sometimes it'd be nice to know more
about the people who post these questions, so
you'd know what not to buy.

LOL

Steven, we have the same point of view.
