Updating one record values to another record

Hi,

I have a record with more than 100 fields. I want to copy all field values into another existing record and update. Is there any method to update?

Thanks.

Hi Mad,

get the first record (with fields to copy), get the second record (target) and set the Id of the first record object to second record object and update. E.g. for accounts:
  
Account souce_acc = new Account();
Account dest_acc = new Account();

source_acc = [SELECT ...];
dest_acc = [SELECT ...];

source_acc.Id = dest_acc.Id;
update source_acc;

Best,
Andreas

Use the link referred to by [viruS] viruS (http://www.oyecode.com/2012/08/utility-class-how-to-get-all-fields-for.html) you will get list of all field names as String. You can then user the following way. 
Your_Custom_Object__c sourceRecord, destRecord;
Map < String, Schema.SObjectField > fields = r.fields.getMap();
for (string field: fields.keySet()) {
    destRecord.put(field, sourceRecord.get(field1);
}
update destRecord;
