15.4. File output

Sending output to a file is similar. For example, we could modify the previous program to copy lines from one file to another.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main () {
 ifstream infile ("input-file");
 ofstream outfile ("output-file");

 if (infile.good() == false || outfile.good() == false) {
   cout << "Unable to open one of the files." << endl;
   exit (1);
 }

 while (true) {
   getline (infile, line);
   if (infile.eof()) break;
   outfile << line << endl;
 }
}

Create a code block that sends output to a file. First, make sure that both the input file and the output file are able to be opened.
