    cout question...

    Hey guys, you did such a wonderful job helping me last time, I figured I would bug you again


    I am trying to pull information from one file to another file, and everytime I do that, it puts spaces between my characters, and doubles my last input so in essence file in is:

    I went to the store

    and the output to the other file is:

    I w e n t t o t h e s t o r ee

    The output on the screen is right except I get a double entry at the end as well. Any body got an idea? I am sure it has something to do with that crappy null character, but I still don't understand that fully. Any help would be appreciated. Here is my code:

    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <fstream.h>
    #include <iostream>

    char x;
    char y;

    void main()
    {
    ifstream inFile;
    inFile.open("procedure.dat",ios::in);
    ofstream outFile;
    outFile.open("procedureout.dat",ios::out);
    while (!inFile.eof())
    {
    inFile.get(x);
    cout << x;
    outFile.put(y) << x;

    }


    inFile.close();
    outFile.close();

    Well the spaces are caused by the y variable. y is always empty therefore always a space. Take out the y and the spaces should be gone.

    As for the double e, I think it has to do with this:
    cout << x;
    outFile.put(y) << x;
