delete a csv file in rust

To delete a CSV file using Rust, you can use the std::fs::remove_file function, which removes a file from the filesystem.

Here's an example code snippet that demonstrates how to delete a CSV file in Rust:

main.rs
use std::fs;

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    // Path to the CSV file to delete
    let file_path = "path/to/your/file.csv";

    // Attempt to delete the file
    match fs::remove_file(file_path) {
        Ok(_) => println!("File deleted successfully"),
        Err(error) => println!("Error deleting file: {:?}", error),
    }

    Ok(())
}
350 chars
15 lines

In this code snippet, we first import the std::fs module, which contains the remove_file function that we use to remove the file. Next, we specify the path to the CSV file that we want to delete.

We then attempt to delete the file by calling fs::remove_file(file_path). This function returns a std::io::Result that indicates whether the file was deleted successfully or if an error occurred. We match on the result and print a message indicating whether the file was deleted successfully or if an error occurred.

Note that if the CSV file doesn't exist or is already deleted, the remove_file function will return an error, which we can handle using Rust's error handling mechanisms.
