Copy Files

[Ashishm1995]

How do i copy files using Visual C++.
(Note:- I want to copy the file itself and not it's content)

what do you mean with "I want to copy the file itself and not it's content" ?

I just did so many google searches and all I found about the topic was that they showed how to copy the content of the file using fstream.
The code is here:-
//start
std::ifstream ifs("input.txt", std::ios::binary);
std::ofstream ofs("output.txt", std::ios::binary);

ofs << ifs.rdbuf();
//end
I dont know whether the code works or not I want a code to copy the file itself(like when we select a file,right click on it and select copy) and not its content which the code does.

So you want to copy the file on the clipboard?
Read this documentation at MSDN: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms648709(VS.85).aspx

I think he wants to move the file or make a copy of any file.

use CopyFile or CopyFileEx.

to move use rename()
