I'm trying to write a program to read a file and write it to another file
in C++, but my program quits like halfway through the file with a read
error or something to that effect...  Here's some pseudo-code.

#include <fstream.h>

int main(void)
{
  char temp;
  ifstream in("infile");
  ofstream out("outfile");
  if (in.fail()||out.fail())
  {
    cout << "File error" << endl;
    return 1;
  }
  while (!in.eof()&&!in.fail()&&!out.fail())
  {
    in >> temp;
    out << temp;
  }
  in.close();
  out.close();
  cout << "Copying successful" << endl;
  return 0;
}

I tried using in.get(temp) which worked better most of the time, or
in.read(char *temp,1024) and then out.write(temp,in.gcount()) but none of
these got the whole file...  Any suggestions?

PS - If there are any dumb bugs or anything in this code please don't
suggest that as the problem because I just coded this online and probably
did something dumb :P
