makes a duplicate copy of a file. ( reads input from a file and write output to another file) #include 2 int main() FILE infile FILE outfile; int age; char name[20] infile fopen("a:myfile.txt","r"); outfile fopen("a:dupfile.dat,"w") 10 if (infile NULL) printf"File does not exist. n"); 12 13 else printf" Program execution successful.In"); while (fscanf(infile,"%s'%d", name, &age;) !-Eon 15 16 printfloutfile,"%st%dn", name, age); 17 18 19 fclose(infile): fclose(outfile return (0); 20 21 // create text file: Start- Programs - Accessories - NotesPad

Explanation / Answer

There no such mistake in the code. just the naming convention of the file may have created the error. below code is running code. Just copy and paste and save with '.c' extension.

make sure the file you want to copy lies in the same directory where you have saved your source code.

and file must be in the format given in screenshot.

I have commented the whole code. feel free to ask if you still have any doubt

HIt thumbs up if you like the answer :)

---------------------------------------> CODE

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int age;
char name[20];
FILE *infile, *outfile; // pointer to store file address
infile = fopen("myfile.txt","r"); // opening file to read the data
// file must exit in same directory where the code is saved
outfile = fopen("dupfile.txt","w");
// dupfile.txt will be created to write data.

if (infile == NULL){
//check if file myfile.txt exists
printf("Error! opening file");

// Program exits if the file pointer returns NULL.
exit(1);
}
else
printf("Program Executed");
while(fscanf(infile,"%s%d",name,&age)!= EOF) //EOF = End Of File
//fscanf return EOF when the pointer reach to end of file
{
fprintf(outfile,"%s %d ",name,age);
}
fclose(infile); //closing the opened file
fclose(outfile);

return 0;

}
