C++ copy file
 

I can make this program to copy diverse format wihout losts.

example:
C:\\animal.exe to D:\\animal.exe
(The File location write in locale)

#include <iostream>

#include <fstream>

using namespace std;

int main ()

{

    char data[50];        

    

   char inputFile [100];      

    cout <<"Insert inputFilePatch :"<<endl; 

    cin >> inputFile;    

        

    ifstream inputFilePatch;           

    inputFilePatch.open(inputFile);

    

    if(!inputFilePatch) {   

    cout << "Wrong Location!!!\n";

     system("PAUSE");

    return 1;

    }        

    char outputFile[100];  

    cout<<"Insert outputFilePatch  "<<endl; 

    cin >> outputFile;

    

    ofstream outputFilePatch;

    outputFilePatch.open(outputFile);    

    outputFilePatch<<data; 

    

   while(inputFilePatch>>data){

        outputFilePatch<<data<< endl;

        }; 

        

    outputFilePatch.close();

   

    system("PAUSE");

   return 0; 

   

}

This is exactly just for .txt files!
What to change to work these?

I really don't know what you mean, but you might want to open the files in binary mode...

Re: C++ copy file
 

If you are trying to write that code for MS-Windows then you can use win32 api CopyFile() function. Otherwise open the input and output files in binary mode, not the default text mode. On *nix it doesn't matter because they are both the same, but on MS-Windows there is a difference.

Re: C++ copy file
 

the easiest, least error-prone and the fastest way to copy an entire stream is this:
output_stream << input_stream.rdbuf() ;. if you are writing a utility like this, error messages are conventionally sent to cerr (not cout).

#include <iostream>

#include <fstream>

using namespace std ;



int main( int argc, char** argv )

{

  if( argc != 3 ) 

  {

    cout << "usage: " << argv[0]  << "<srce file>  <dest file>" ;

    return 1 ;

  }

  ifstream srce( argv[1], ios::binary ) ;

  if( !srce )

  {

    cerr << "could not open " << argv[1] << " for reading\n" ;

    return 2 ;

  }

  ofstream dest( argv[2], ios::binary ) ;

  if( !dest )

  {

    cerr << "could not open " << argv[2] << " for writing\n" ;

    return 3 ;

  }

  dest << srce.rdbuf() ;

  if( !dest )

  {

    cerr << "error while copying\n" ;

    return 4 ;

  }

}
