Why don't you try something along this line...
CODE
char transferFile(ifstream &in_stream)
{
ofstream out_stream;
char line[100];
out_stream.open("FileIOLAb2.txt");
// Check the outstream failed, which is what I think you meant.
if(out_stream.fail())
{
cout << " failed to open the file!!!" << endl;
exit(1);
}
// Loop through the instream and pull each line into a variable first
while (in_stream.getline(line,100)) {
// Then dump the line to the output stream
out_stream << line << endl;
}
// Don't forget to close your file after you are done transferring.
out_stream.close();
return 0;
}
In this example I added one intermediate step, dump the line to a variable and then onto the output stream. Put it in a loop and it will transfer the entire file line by line like I think you meant it too.
Give this a try and I think you will see it works pretty nicely. Oh and don't forget to close your file streams. We wouldn't want any locked up resources.
Enjoy!
