C++ Program to Merge Two Files

Merge Two Files in C++

To merge two files in C++ programming, you have to ask to the user to enter the three file name with extension.

Now first open the two file and start copying the content of first file to the third file(target file) after this start appending the content of second file to the third file (target file) as shown here in the following program.

C++ Programming Code to Merge Two Files

Following C++ program merge two files and store the content of both file into another file.

So the following C++ program ask to the user to enter three file names. First file name and second file name (say file1.txt and file2.txt), then Third file name that is used to store the content of the two file (say filet.txt).

So the following C++ program merge the two file and write it into the third file :

/* C++ Program - Merge Two Files */
		
#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<fstream.h>
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
void main()
{
	clrscr();
	ifstream ifiles1, ifiles2;
	ofstream ifilet;
	char ch, fname1[20], fname2[20], fname3[30];
	cout<<"Enter first file name (with extension like file1.txt) : ";
	gets(fname1);
	cout<<"Enter second file name (with extension like file2.txt) : ";
	gets(fname2);
	cout<<"Enter name of file (with extension like file3.txt) which will store the contents of the two files (fname1 and fname1) : ";
	gets(fname3);
	ifiles1.open(fname1);
	ifiles2.open(fname2);
	if(ifiles1==NULL || ifiles2==NULL)
	{
		perror("Error Message ");
		cout<<"Press any key to exit...\n";
		getch();
		exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
	}
	ifilet.open(fname3);
	if(!ifilet)
	{
		perror("Error Message ");
		cout<<"Press any key to exit...\n";
		getch();
		exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
	}
	while(ifiles1.eof()==0)
	{
		ifiles1>>ch;
		ifilet<<ch;
	}
	while(ifiles2.eof()==0)
	{
		ifiles2>>ch;
		ifilet<<ch;
	}
	cout<<"The two files were merged into "<<fname3<<" file successfully..!!";
	ifiles1.close();
	ifiles2.close();
	ifilet.close();
	getch();
}

When the above C++ program is compile and executed, it will produce the following result:
