C++ Program for copying files

Sorry, we can't do homework, but if you can post a first stab at the code, we can help out..

Just like you have to open a book to read or write in it, and you close it when you're done, you do the same thing with files.

To push the metaphor even further, if you're hand copying a book, you might copy one line at a time.

Have you tried surfing for sample code?

This may help you get started:

Get the article and look at the File Handling entry:

The process is to open the file in binary mode, read it an write it the target. I guess I shouldn't send you the code

Uh, folks, I seriously doubt that this elementary assignment has anything to do with binary files.

Its true that it does not directly deal with binary files, but opening the file in a binary mode will give a more generalised approach

One byte at once is easy to implement but it is slooooow. If you read blocks (I use 1024 bytes) the transfer rate will fly up into the sky!!!

You can also use "Scripting.FileSystemObject" object for copying file.
FileSystemObject  can be used for all file operations. no need of binary file copy.

find out if you can use this object  in C++. Check for any such libraries
