copy file to new directory

[japhy]

hi there,

i'm fairly new to C++. I'm just trying to write code
that will copy a file to a new directory with a different name. I was trying to use CFile read and write commands but i can't seem to get the data from one file to appear in the other.

any suggestions are really appreciated.
thanks

You could use the Win32 API calls: ReadFile, and WriteFile, both have great documentation on

http://msdn.microsoft.com

ORRR you could do it the 'hard' way, and use the ifstream and ofstream objects, input file stream, and output file stream, read one file, write it out to another.

while( !inFile.eof() )
{
inFile.getline( //string buffer, etc etc. );

outFile.write( //stringbuffer, etc etc );
}

Just use the CopyFile API.
