Answer 1

This is what you may want to do.

1. Open the text file using ifstream.
2. Open the target file using ofstream in binary mode.
3. Read information from file1 and write to file2.

Some sample code (untested):

    ifstream ifile("file1.txt");  
    ofstream ofile("file2.txt", ios::binary);  
    string line;  
    while(!ifile.eof()) {  
    getline(ifile, line);  
    ofile.write(line.c_str(), line.length);  
   }
