int main(){
createtestfile();//for testing purposes

string filename;
string input;
ifstream infile("testfile.txt");
ofstream outfile;

cout<<"Enter output file name: ";
cin>>filename;
outfile.open(filename);

if(!infile.is_open()){
cout<<"Input file failed to open... Press any key to exit.";
cin.get();
return 0;
}

while(!infile.eof()){

infile>>pigLatinIn;

if(!infile.eof()){
outfile<<convertToPigLatin (input);
}

infile.close();
outfile.close();
cin.get();
return 0;
