Help with binary files

tuxinator · 12-01-2005, 12:09 AM

How do I create a code that can read binary files and copy what they say into a text file titled "out_file.txt". Needed for a program I am creating.

NOTE: Thanks in advance for anyone who knows how to solve this problem!

open the binary file(s) for reading
open the text file for writing (using a text mode specifer)
for each binary file, read it, write to the text file.

I have tried that technique but it did not work. I think I need to use the fread and fwrite functions according to the FAQ page. Although I am unsure how to use those functions and have failed in finding information on how to use them. Thank you!!

You should befriend your local man page.
