Ex 4 - DSCP Lab

The document describes a C program to copy the contents of one file to another. It outlines an algorithm to open the source and destination files, read characters from the source file using fgetc() and write them to the destination file using fputc() in a loop until the end of the source file is reached. The program implementation then opens the specified source and destination files, copies the character contents in a loop, and prints a success message upon completion.

EX.

NO : 4 COPY THE CONTENTS OF ONE FILE TO ANOTHER


DATE :

AIM:
To write a C program to copy the contents of one file to another.

ALGORITHM:
1. Start the program.
2. Create the source file, destination file and set their path.
3. Open the source file in r (read) and destination file in w (write) mode.
4. Read character from source file and write it to destination file using fputc ().
5. Repeat step 3 till source file has reached end.
6. Print the result.
7. Stop the program.

PROGRAM:
/* Copy the contents of one file to another */
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main ()
{
FILE *fptr1, *fptr2;
char filename [100], c;
printf (“Enter the filename to open for reading: ”);
scanf (“% s”, filename);
fptr1 = fopen (filename, “r”);
if (fptr1 == NULL)
{
printf (“Cannot open file %s”, filename);
exit (0);
}
printf (“Enter the filename to open for writing: ”);
scanf (“% s”, filename);
fptr2 = fopen (filename, “w”);
if (fptr2 == NULL)
{
printf (“Cannot open file %s”, filename);
exit (0);
}
c = fgetc (fptr1);
while (c != EOF)
{
fputc (c, fptr2);
c = fgetc (fptr1);
}
printf (“Contents copied to %s”, filename);
fclose (fptr1);

1
fclose (fptr2);
getch ();
return 0;
}

OUTPUT:
Enter the filename to open for reading: myread.txt
Enter the filename to open for writing: mywrite.txt
Contents copied to mywrite.txt

RESULT:
Thus, the implementation to copy the contents of one file to another was
implemented successfully.
