Question

use code to develop a C program that gets a source file name from a user. If the file does not exist, it will generate a proper error and exits.

If the file exists, it also gets the name of two files from the user, say destination1 and destination2. These files don't need to exist as they are files that need to be written to.

 

The program then reads the source file line by line.

 

If the line starts with an uppercase and ends with a lower case, it copies that line to dest1 (first destination file)

 

If the line starts with a lowercase and ends with a dot ('.'), it copies that line to dest2 (second destination file)

 

If neither of the above hold, the program discards that line (doesn't copy it anywhere)

 

The program then displays a report mentioning how many lines were copied into each destination file. Don't forget to close all the files.

 

Example: Assume that the source file is (<NL> = new line, <EOF> end of file):

 

Souce: "myfile.txt"

This is my first line<NL>

this is my second line.<NL>

I also have a third line!<NL>

This is the last line<EOF>

 

 

dest1: "mydest1.txt"

This is my first line<NL>

This is the last line <EOF>

 

dest2: "mydest2.txt"

this is my second line.<EOF>

 

The report should look like:

 

2 lines were copied to mydest1.txt

1 lines were copied to mydest2.txt
