you use the CopyFile function, what else?

can''t you find your way to google or msdn?
When I use google, there will be far to much search results. And MSDN doesn''t work...
Standard C++ method :


      #include <fstream>using namespace std;int main(){  ifstream src( "inputfile.foo", ios::binary );  ofstream dst( "outputfile.bar", ios::binary );  dst << src.rdbuf();}      


Discounting the declarations, it's a single statement

Edit: note that the technique works with any standard stream : cin, cout, fstreams, stringstreams ...
