How?

[neoraghav]

How?

bcoz......other concepts are not getting into my mind.......

so ill go with just changing the attribute flag ......as needed....

The fact that you don't understand the solution doesn't change the fact that just changing the attributes does nothing to solve your problem.

I suppose if he just needs it to prevent accidental deletion, it solves his problem. He never really explained why he needed it read only. If it's part of a homework assignment for example, it might be enough that he did it. If it's a pointy-haired boss making random demands, then again it might be enough. If he has a real need for security... not so much.

it solves my problem. i made it read only using

system("attrib -r logfileBrandNew.log");
system("attrib +r logfileBrandNew.log");

i know how to hide the file.
but is it possible to prevent the file from deletion.........

This is no solution. This is just setting the read-only marker. Every dumbass can remove it.

No.

No.

do you have a solution.......!!

You can't have a solution until you have clearly defined requirements, which you have yet to provide. We don't know how secure this needs to be.
