Explanation :
To copy a text from one file to another we have to follow following Steps :
Step 1 : Open Source File in Read Mode

fp1 =  fopen("Sample.txt","r");

Step 2 : Open Target File in Write Mode

fp2 =  fopen("Output.txt","w");

Step 3 : Read Source File Character by Character

while(1)
    {
       ch = fgetc(fp1);
       if(ch==EOF)
          break;
       else
          putc(ch,fp2);
    }

• "fgetc" will read character from source file.
• Check whether character is "End Character of File" or not , if yes then Terminate Loop
• "putc" will write Single Character on File Pointed by "fp2" pointer

Input Text File :

Output Written on File
