When I use google, there will be far to much search results. And MSDN doesn''t work...

Standard C++ method :


      
#include <fstream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
  ifstream src( "inputfile.foo", ios::binary );
  ofstream dst( "outputfile.bar", ios::binary );

  dst << src.rdbuf();
}


Discounting the declarations, it's a single statement

Edit: note that the technique works with any standard stream : cin, cout, fstreams, stringstreams ...
