Can anyone help me...i have a file modt.txt and i want to save the content in modt2.txt but it seems my code is not working. Moreover,
if i have the content of the 1st file Have a nice day. i want to save it to the 2nd file without double space it should be Have a nice day. I have this as my code:

#include <stdio.h>

void copyf(char *fname1, char *fname2){
 FILE *fp1,*fp2;
 int x;

 if (((fp1=fopen(fname1,"r"))==NULL)||((fp2=fopen(fname2,"w"))==NULL))
 {
  printf("error:unable to open the filed\n");
  exit(1);
 }
  while((x=getc(fp1))!=EOF)
    putc(x,fp2);
  fclose(fp1);
  fclose(fp1);
}
main(){

 copyf("modt.txt","modt2.txt");
 
}

don't understand your problem. In modt.txt you have Have a nice day and in modt2.txt I also have the same string.
>i want to save it to the 2nd file without double space
This part I don't understand. Where you have double space? In 2nd file?

im sory the first txt file should have a content of "Have_ _ a nice day" two spaces then i have to save it to the 2nd file and should only have one spcae "Have_a nice day"...

while((x=getc(fp1))!=EOF){
      if ((unsigned char) x != ' ' || spaceOcured != 1)
         putc(x,fp2);
      if ((unsigned char) x == ' '){
         spaceOcured = 1;
      }
      else{
         spaceOcured = 0;
      }
   }

Of course you must to define spaceOcured at the begining of copyf function, for example to char and intialise it to zero.

while((x=getc(fp1))!=EOF){
      if ((unsigned char) x != ' ' || spaceOcured != 1)
         putc(x,fp2);
      if ((unsigned char) x == ' '){
         spaceOcured = 1;
      }
      else{
         spaceOcured = 0;
      }
   }

i have an error spaceOccured undefined symbol...

i got it i initialize spaceOccured as char
char spaceOcured=0;

i got it i initialize spaceOccured as char
char spaceOcured=0;

it doesnt create a new file

with this code whats wrong?:

#include <stdio.h>
char spaceOcured;
void copyf(char *fname1, char *fname2){
 FILE *fp1,*fp2;
 int x;
 spaceOcured=0;
 if (((fp1=fopen(fname1,"r"))==NULL)||((fp2=fopen(fname2,"w"))==NULL))
 {
  printf("error:unable to open the filed\n");
  exit(1);
 }

  while((x=getc(fp1))!=EOF){
      if ((unsigned char) x != ' ' || spaceOcured != 1)
         putc(x,fp2);
      if ((unsigned char) x == ' '){
         spaceOcured = 1;
      }
      else{
         spaceOcured = 0;
      }
  }
   fclose(fp1);
  fclose(fp1);
}
main(){

 copyf("d:\modt.txt","d:\modt2.txt");
 getch();

}

Hm are you shore?

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

void copyf(char *fname1, char *fname2){
   FILE *fp1,*fp2;
   int x;
   char spaceOcured = 0;

   if (((fp1=fopen(fname1,"r"))==NULL)||((fp2=fopen(fname2,"w"))==NULL)){
      printf("error:unable to open the filed\n");
      exit(1);
   }
   while((x=getc(fp1))!=EOF){
      if ((unsigned char) x != ' ' || spaceOcured != 1)
         putc(x,fp2);
      if ((unsigned char) x == ' '){
         spaceOcured = 1;
      }
      else{
         spaceOcured = 0;
      }
   }
    
   fclose(fp1);
   fclose(fp1);
}

int main(){

   copyf("modt.txt","modt2.txt");
 
 return 0;
}

hello modt2.txt is not created...:sad:

The only diffrence is the while loop and the declaration of spaceOcured. There is no sense that mod2 is not created. Create a new dir and copy the c file and the modt.txt. Try again. It should create the file modt2.txt. Do you heve this error message error:unable to open the filed ? If U still have problem comment the while loop and leave only the fopen functions and see the result.

none ....no error messgae displayed....when i run the exe... window screen is black then quits...

okie i'll try without the while loop

If theres no error mesages than the prog created the file. Put getchar() at the end of the program just to be shore that U did not missed the err message.
