Opening File

[lumpybanana247]

there is a program called 010 Editor. using it, you could open a .exe file, copy the HEX code that it gives you, create an empty project and paste that code and save the file and of course, its an exact replica as if you copy and pasted. but my question is: how could i do somthing like this in c++? i mean i know how to convert to hex, its just how could i do that?

What are you trying to do? Read in a binary file and output it in hex?

[lumpybanana247]

yeah, like open NOTEPAD.EXE and get the hex code for it

You can do that with almost any decent text editor. Try notepad++ or any IDE like Visual Studio. They will open binary files in hex for you to look at.
