can't copy existing file into new file

[nitu_thakkar]

this coding is about copy one existing file into other file

but it can't do so throught the command line arg. what is

the solution....?

#include<stdio.h>

	#include<conio.h>

	#include<stdlib.h>

	void main(char *argv[])
	{

		FILE *fp1,*fp2;
		char c;
		int i;

		clrscr();

		fp1=fopen(argv[1],"r");

		rewind(fp1);

		fp2=fopen(argv[2],"w");


		if(fp1==NULL)
		{

			printf("Source File is Not Exist");
			exit(0);

		}



		while((c=getc(fp1))!=EOF)
		{


			putc(c,fp2);

			printf("%c",c);


		}

		fclose(fp1);

		fclose(fp2);

	getch();

	}

1. Wrong main prototype. Must be:

int main(int argc, char*argv[])

2. fgetc returns int, declare c as int.
3. No need in rewind(fp1). Test fp1 == 0 befory any ops with opened file.
4. Test argc == 3 (argv[0] - program name, argv[1] and argv[2] - file names).
5. You can't copy binary file in text mode. To open in binary mode use "rb" and "wb" open mode arguments.

What error message -- you never said what that was. Post code and make sure main() is declared like ArkM posted.

Post code if you need more help. And if you are trying to copy binary files then you have to open the files in binary mode, also as previously suggested.
