C++: Everytime I read in by fstream I got 1 extra character at the end

Question

Everytime I read in by fstream I got 1 extra character at the end, How can I avoid this?

EDIT:

ifstream readfile(inputFile);
ofstream writefile(outputFil

Based on the code, it appears what you're trying to do is copy the contents of one file to another?

If so, I'd try something like this:

ifstream fin(inputFile, ios::binary);

fin.seekg(0, ios::end);
long fileSize = fin.tellg();
fin.seekg(0, ios::beg);

char *pBuff = new char[fileSize];
fin.read(pBuff, fileSize);
fin.close();

ofstream fout(outputFile, ios::binary)
fout.write(pBuff, fileSize);
fout.close;
delete [] pBuff;
