Creating .txt file using it and deleting it
Hello
My name is William and I have being programing with c++ for three months now.
I am creating a program that makes a .txt file (using the fstream) library and use that file for calculations but I want that file to get deleted from the computer straight after it is used because in the actual program I make use of several files that I create to do different calculations and at the end of running the program I will be left with a lot of files which I don't think looks nice.
thank you

One option, see remove:

Another option. Rather than creating temporary files and deleting them afterwards, consider using a stringstream for temporary storage.
http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/sstream/stringstream/
(It might even be better to use one of the standard containers such as std::vector or std::list, but that could require some rethink of your design).
