Examples
1. Write a File-Copy program which copies the content of
one file to another. Take both the file names from the user.
2. Write a Java program for expanding abbreviations in the
input text. Store the expanded output in one file. Input
text is read from a file. Get the input and output file
names from the user. Abbreviations along with their
expansions are stored in the file abbreviations.txt in the
format:
<line i>abbreviation
<line i+1>expansion

ExpandAbbreviation Algorithm
1. Read abbreviations & expansions from file and store in arrays
2. Open input file for reading
3. Open output file for writing
4. For each line in the input file
1. Search for each abbreviation in the line and replace if found
(find_and_replace() function)
2. Write the modified line to the output file

5. Close all opened files
