Hi,

Problem has been resolved. Code will ask you to write the file to read then enter the Data file name and it will remove comma and replace comma with while space and copy all the data from 'dat' file to 'n01427232_parsed.txt' file.

The code will read the data from 'file.dat' file or whatever you entered for each char if the char is not comma then it will write to 'txt' file but if it comma then it will replace it with white space.

Result file and running code screenshot has been attached. please refer to the images.

char fileNm[100], c;

printf("Enter file to read: \n");
scanf("%s", fileNm);

fle1 = fopen(fileNm, "r");
if (fle1 == NULL)
{
printf("Error while opening file: %s \n", fileNm);
exit(0);
}
fle2 = fopen("n01427232_parsed.txt", "w");
if (fle2 == NULL)
{
printf("Error while opening file: %s \n", fileNm);
exit(0);
}

c = fgetc(fle1);
while (c != EOF)
{
//printf("\n%c \n",c);
if(c!=','){
fputc(c, fle2);

}
else{
fputc(' ', fle2);
}
c = fgetc(fle1);
}

printf("\nCopied task finished \n");

fclose(fle1);
fclose(fle2);
return 0;
}
