rename() and remove() functions are used in C.Pls tell the functions to rename and delete a file in C++!

Actually, there is no C++ specific way. You use the same C functions, except include <cstdio> rather than <stdio.h> and rename() and remove() will be in the "std" namspace.

Depending on your targeted OS (assuming you are working with windows or linux), you could aways use the system(); function.

Bad, bad idea. It's open to exploitation, and it's not portable. Go with the functions provided - they're there for a reason.
