copied!<p>The best option is to just open the original file for reading, the destination file for writing and then loop copying it block by block. In pseudocode :</p> <pre><code>f1 = open(filename1); f2 = open(filename2, "w"); while( !f1.eof() ) { buffer = f1.read(buffersize); err = f2.write(buffer, buffersize); if err != NO_ERROR_CODE break; } f1.close(); f2.close(); </code></pre> <p><strong>[Edit by Asker]</strong> Ok, this is how it looks in C# (it's slow but it seems to work Ok, and it gives progress):</p> <pre><code>using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.IO; using System.Text; namespace LoopCopy { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { if (args.Length != 2) { Console.WriteLine( "Usage: LoopCopy.exe SourceFile DestFile"); return; } string srcName = args[0]; string destName = args[1]; FileInfo sourceFile = new FileInfo(srcName); if (!sourceFile.Exists) { Console.WriteLine("Source file {0} does not exist", srcName); return; } long fileLen = sourceFile.Length; FileInfo destFile = new FileInfo(destName); if (destFile.Exists) { Console.WriteLine("Destination file {0} already exists", destName); return; } int buflen = 1024; byte[] buf = new byte[buflen]; long totalBytesRead = 0; double pctDone = 0; string msg = ""; int numReads = 0; Console.Write("Progress: "); using (FileStream sourceStream = new FileStream(srcName, FileMode.Open)) { using (FileStream destStream = new FileStream(destName, FileMode.CreateNew)) { while (true) { numReads++; int bytesRead = sourceStream.Read(buf, 0, buflen); if (bytesRead == 0) break; destStream.Write(buf, 0, bytesRead); totalBytesRead += bytesRead; if (numReads % 10 == 0) { for (int i = 0; i < msg.Length; i++) { Console.Write("\b \b"); } pctDone = (double) ((double)totalBytesRead / (double)fileLen); msg = string.Format("{0}%", (int)(pctDone * 100)); Console.Write(msg); } if (bytesRead < buflen) break; } } } for (int i = 0; i < msg.Length; i++) { Console.Write("\b \b"); } Console.WriteLine("100%"); Console.WriteLine("Done"); } } } </code></pre>

Larger individual text columns get their own page to allow for proper reading.
