Hi all, Many people new to VC++ reach a point were they must ask this question: What is the easiest method of implementing File Handling? Open a file, read a stream of cha/bytes, save, create, delete, truncate, etc... In my case, i would like to open, read a stream of bytes to a buffer, and save that buffer to a 2nd file. Seems possible, I bet it is ! Thanks all, Hugo Ferreira lotsjunk@hotmail.com http://unitek3000.tripod.com

You have your choice of Win32 functions, MFC Data/View architecture, C++ streams, and/or C file operations. I use C++ streams myself. A good reference book on C++ should cover how do do file input/output.

Look up fopen, fclose, fputc and fgetc in the MSDN. You should be able to figure it out from there. It''s very straightforward.

careful !!! ..

standard io is kinda buggy on windows if used at high volume..

use

CreateFile()
ReadFile()
WriteFile()
CloseFile()
SetFilePointer()

instead ..

{ Stating the obvious never helped any situation !! }
