Thread: Reading in a file word by word

I am trying to write a program that reads a file name from the
command line, reads the contents of that file, and output a list of words, one word per line, to a second file, whose name is also on the command line.


For this program a word is a sequence of alphabetic characters. Any character which is not alphabetic is a separator character.

I know how to open files and create files but I am not sure what to do so that I can read in just one word at a time. I also want to know of any tips on how to write to the new file. Thank you in advance for any help!

Example

input file:
Hello%$this is just a test!

output file:
Hello
this
is
just
a
test
