Reading and writing binary file

Question

I\'m trying to write code to read a binary file into a buffer, then write the buffer to another file. I have the following code, but the buffer only stores a couple of ASCI

If you want to do this the C++ way, do it like this:

#include 
#include 
#include 

int main()
{
    std::ifstream input( "C:\\Final.gif", std::ios::binary );
    std::ofstream output( "C:\\myfile.gif", std::ios::binary );

    std::copy( 
        std::istreambuf_iterator(input), 
        std::istreambuf_iterator( ),
        std::ostreambuf_iterator(output));
}

If you need that data in a buffer to modify it or something, do this:

#include 
#include 
#include 

int main()
{
    std::ifstream input( "C:\\Final.gif", std::ios::binary );

    // copies all data into buffer
    std::vector buffer(std::istreambuf_iterator(input), {});

}
