Hey, this is just a suggestion to add to the core. I would like a file_copy function like

file_copy(source,destination)

I really would appreciate it. Thanks.

You could write a stock using a buffered read_file / write_file (or however they were called)

[Johnny got his gun]

Yes or even fread/fwrite (the c style things)
Look in file.inc

Edit, here is something:

stock bool:file_copy(SOURCE[], TARGET[], error[], const ERRORLEN, const bool:REPLACE_TARGET = false) {
    if (!file_exists(SOURCE)) {
        format(error, ERRORLEN, "File copy error: Source ^"%s^" doesn't exist!", SOURCE)
        return false
    }
    if (!REPLACE_TARGET && file_exists(TARGET)) {
        format(error, ERRORLEN, "File copy error: Target ^"%s^" exists!", TARGET)
        return false
    }

    new source = fopen(SOURCE, "rb")
    if (!source) {
        format(error, ERRORLEN, "File copy error: Opening source ^"%s^" failed!", SOURCE)
        return false
    }

    new target = fopen(TARGET, "wb")
    if (!target) {
        format(error, ERRORLEN, "File copy error: Opening target ^"%s^" failed!", TARGET)
        fclose(source)
        return false
    }

    for (new buffer, eof = feof(source); !eof; !eof && fputc(target, buffer)) {
        buffer = fgetc(source)
        eof = feof(source)
    }

    fclose(source)
    fclose(target)

    return true
}

Edit: I added this to file.inc. Also fixed a problem with fopen not returning 0 when a file couldn't be opened. CVS is up to date with these changes.
