File Editing
Author
I would''ve used the search because I''m 99% sure I saw this already, but it''s not working.
So anyway, where can I find out how to, edit, copy to, create, etc. files?
Search work fine for me.
You have to be a little bit more specific about what you want. File mapipulation using the commandline, using C, Basic,... or whatever.

Oops, sorry, I forgot about that part. C++ is what I want to do it in. I ultimately want to figure out how to make installers for my software.

*gets on his knees to beg and makes a puddle of tears* :''(
Will anyone tell me how to copy files to another location in c++? Even pointing me to a tutorial/website would be acceptable.
I wouldn''t keep bugging, but I looked on google for about 15 minutes and then looked on the forum without finding what I wanted.
*promises to never bump again*

Here it goes, but it isn't for free. You owe me a dozen cookies now.
Reading from file
Reading from file, part 2
Writing files
That should do the trick. If not, buy a good book on C++, it might help you. btw, for making an installer, you only need to know how to insert files as a resource into an installer and how to retrieve them as resource handle. Then you can write the files using file i/o. And for copying, check out the win32 platform SDK.

I don''t believe I''m allowed to use ready-to-use installers for what I''m doing if that''s what you mean, but I''ll check out the win32 sdk thing tomorrow morning (my 56k conn. gets slower than s-mail at night).
Thanks.

I need to use an installer though. :/

So all of you talent-seekers from EA can find me more easily, here is my resume:
I have made nothing in C++. No, really, I have made a program that says "Hello world!". No, really, I have made a number guessing game. No, really, I have made a simple battelship game using only arrays. No, really, I actually tried to learn something from GPaiO. Now that''s difficult!

Simple way to copy: open source file for reading, destination file for writing, then read a block from src and write it to dest. Should work with fopen and co. as well as with the C++ fstreams.

I know it seems archaic, but sometimes I use dos commands in my programs. All you have to do is use
system("copy file1.??? file2.???"
;
and it should work on all windows OS''s. It may be poor style, I know nothing about style because I learned programming from a C book from the 80''s, but it works. It may not be ''allowed'' (Homework, anyone?), but it is one easy way to do it.
