Create Temporary Files Problem

[Anon]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could advise me on how to create a file which will delete itself after set time period - say 1 week.

Is this possible with the File write functions???????

I think one question mark is quite enough there Jim :-)

Files that delete themselves? That would be a novelty.

You'll have to write a script that deletes old files, and run it from the crontab (unix only).

or you could incorporate this function into the function that creates a new temp file, so that every time you create a new temp file, any old files are deleted.
