File input/output is part of Short Circuit's Console Program Basics selection.
Task

Create a file called   "output.txt",   and place in it the contents of the file   "input.txt",   via an intermediate variable.

In other words, your program will demonstrate:

   how to read from a file into a variable
   how to write a variable's contents into a file


Oneliners that skip the intermediate variable are of secondary interest — operating systems have copy commands for that.




on copyFile from src into dst
       set filedata to read file src
       set outfile to open for access dst with write permission
       write filedata to outfile
       close access outfile
end copyFile
 
copyFile from ":input.txt" into ":output.txt"
