program used to split up transcription files

splitfiles.cpp

// Name: Marty Miller
// Program: This program fixes a transcription file that needs special formatting
/*
    Purpose:   We will be dealing with file input and output, as well as character
			   handling. It separates transcripts into separate files by pages.
