Copy a jpeg file

[Chris Davidson]

I have two stibgs. One string holds the name of a jpeg file. The other string
holds the new name I want for the jpeg file. How would I proceed to do this. I
would think it would be easy but I just can not figure it out. Thanks in
advance for any assistance that can be given.

I ment to say I have two strings, not two stibgs.

You can invoke an OS shell command to do it via a system() call, or you can
open the file for "binary read", and create the new file as &quot
;binary-write", and read blocks from one and write them to the other.

The latter method is portable, the first method depends on the OS shell and
commands available, so is not portable between different OS's

Thanks for the help. It took a bit of doing but I have the program copying the
jpegs perfectly.

Ah... Probably a bit late to suggest a third option then: . Note that this is

definitely specific to Win32, but far more flexible and efficient that using

system(), which has no way of telling whether the command executed by it

succeeded.
