Patch Engine

[mozza]

I'm having trouble creating patch engine that opens a file, create a backup, searches for a pattern of bytes, and replaces them. I am fairly new to C++ and stuck on this one project. I know this can be done with assembly but I don’t fancy learning it.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Character manipulation (and parsing) is what you need to learn as well as file i/o handling.

Check for a Carrja's tutorial on basic file i/o.
Check any book/tutorial on using the "char" keyword as well as a a few basic manipulators as defined in <string.h>.
Learn the for loop too.

And off you go
