print("\nThe contents of the file are as printed below\n");
open(Read_File,'Demo.txt');
$read=<Read_File>;
while($read)
{
print ("$read");
$read=<Read_File>;
}
close (Read_File);
open(Write_File,'>Output.txt');
open(Reading,'Demo.txt');
$read=<Reading>;
while($read)
{
print Write_File "$read";
$read=<Reading>;
}
