File Copy Problem....

[sukatoa]

Can you post the best URL/Tutorial site for high quality file copying of .COM file?

JoshAH?, BigDaddy?, roXxxxx?, how will you guys handle this? Please help...

I've surf the net, but all i can see are for .jpg or imaging files and text files copy...

This is my new problem as of now...

Im waiting for your replies... ;-(

What is so special about a .com file? I guess it isn't a text file so don't use a
Reader and Writer for the copying. Use simple InputStreams and OutputStreams
for the copy action, i.e. create the streams (File streams) and keep on reading
and writing until you've read all the bytes and written them. That scenario works
with all sorts of files.

.COM file? Im currently developing an A86 IDE... Just a simple editor...
I need to transfer that .COM file generated to the specified directory...

Previously i used that FileWriter and FileReader... The behavior of the copied .COm file is bad... I suspect it was from my implementation. .. I also posted it in one of my threads here in the forum...

Thanks Jos...

As I wrote: don't use Readers and Writers for non-text files; use Streams instead.
Those Readers and Writers try to encode/decode characters (two bytes); those
Streams just take those bytes as they are and don't do anything special to them.

I've encounter FileChannel class @ API...
Using .transferFrom() method...

When we compare this with your reply Jos, what's the difference?
When the file are copied... Does it has any difference?

Jo's, i have implemented your suggestions, will this code could also capable for copying an MB size of file? or greater like GB size?

The difference is that my solution just uses the java.io package and your solution
uses the java.nio package directly. The FileStreams use those channels under the
hood. Streams (as well as Channels) don't care about the size of the file.

Jos

ps. it may be a nice exercise to just use those channels; try it.
