os.Remove not working in windows

[Shenal Silva]

Hi All,

The following code works fine in Linux  but when I compile and run in Windows the os.Remove function does not work or throw any errors. What can be the reason.??

infile := dl.fileName + "." + strconv.Itoa(j)

in, _ := os.Open(infile)

defer os.Remove(infile)

_, err := io.Copy(out, in)

if err != nil {

fmt.Fprintln("Error occured", err))

                         err:=os.Remove(infile)

if err!=nil {

fmt.Fprintln(err)

} else {

fmt.Fprintln("file ", infile, "joined")

err:=os.Remove(infile)

if err!=nil {

fmt.Fprintln(err)

}

Regards,

windows does not allow to delete opened files or dirs with opened files
but you can rename it

I might be wrong but I think it's because you're not closing the file before removing it. On Linux you can remove a file even if it's in use but on windows you can't so, try to close&remove instead of just removing the file
