Thread: Read/Write Method

This is my first post on a problem thats driving me slowly mad so here goes. What im trying to do is to write a method that takes 2 char parameters called filenameIn and filenameOut, so that i can read from an input file and copy the contents into an output file. The code i have written so far compiles and links fine but doesnt do anything-i have programmed before but only in java so this problem is one that i want to try and solve as its holding me up finishing the program. This is the code i have so far:

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include "textfilecopy.h"


using namespace std;

/*
* Partially completed program
* The program should copy a text file.
*
*/

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
	if (argc !=3) {
		cerr << "Usage: " << argv[0] << " <input filename> <output filename>" << endl;
		int keypress; cin >> keypress;
		return -1;
	}
	textfilecopy tfc;

	int keypress; cin >> keypress;
}

That is my main.cpp, then there's textfilecopy.h:

Code:

#pragma once
#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

class textfilecopy
{
public:
	textfilecopy();
	~textfilecopy();
	
	Copy ( char* filenameIn, char* filenameOut)
{
	
	ifstream infile ("C:\\Documents and Settings\\Paul McKenzie\\Programming Work\\Parser\\Debug\\input.txt");

	if (!infile) {
  cerr << "Can't open input file " << filenameIn << endl;
  exit(1);
}
	
	ofstream outfile("C:\\Documents and Settings\\Paul McKenzie\\Programming Work\\Parser\\Debug\\output.txt");

	if (!outfile) {
  cerr << "Can't create output file " << filenameOut << endl;
  exit(1);
	}

	string s;
	while (infile >> s) {
		outfile << s << endl;
	}
	infile.close();
	outfile.close();

}
};

and finally textfilecopy.cpp

Code:

#include ".\textfilecopy.h"



textfilecopy::textfilecopy()
{
}

textfilecopy::~textfilecopy()
{
}

If anyone could help me out id be so grateful, as i say im new to C++ so it wouldnt suprise me if i missed something basic, or put things in the wrong place lol

Thanks a lot,

Paul
