Given a text file, writes a file containing a cout statement which produces identical output through the output stream as reading the file in a text editor.

output.cpp

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>

using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{
   if (argc != 3)
   {
      cout << "Usage: " << argv[0] << " inFilename outFilename" << endl;
      return 0;
   }
   else
   {
      string s;

      ifstream fin(argv[1]);
      ofstream fout(argv[2]);

      getline(fin, s);
      fout << "cout << \"" << s << "\" << endl";

      while (getline(fin, s))
         fout << endl << "<< \"" << s << "\" << endl";

      fout << " << endl;";

      fin.close();
      fout.close();
   }
}
