Reading and writing binary file

Question

I\'m trying to write code to read a binary file into a buffer, then write the buffer to another file. I have the following code, but the buffer only stores a couple of ASCI

Answer 1

It can be done with simple commands in the following snippet.

Copies the whole file of any size. No size constraint!

Just use this. Tested And Working!!

#include
#include
using namespace std;
int main()
{
  ifstream infile;
  infile.open("source.pdf",ios::binary|ios::in);

  ofstream outfile;
  outfile.open("temppdf.pdf",ios::binary|ios::out);

  int buffer[2];
  while(infile.read((char *)&buffer,sizeof(buffer)))
  {
      outfile.write((char *)&buffer,sizeof(buffer));
  }

  infile.close();
  outfile.close();
  return 0;
}

Having a smaller buffer size would be helpful in copying tiny files. Even "char buffer[2]" would do the job.
