  4.  FILE *fp1,*fp2;
  5.  int x;
  6.  
  7.  if (((fp1=fopen(fname1,"r"))==NULL)||((fp2=fopen(fname2,"w"))==NULL))
  8.  {
  9.   printf("error:unable to open the filed\n");
  10.   exit(1);
  11.  }
  12.   while((x=getc(fp1))!=EOF)
  13.     putc(x,fp2);

don't understand your problem. In modt.txt you have Have a nice day and in modt2.txt I also have the same string.
>i want to save it to the 2nd file without double space
This part I don't understand. Where you have double space? In 2nd file?

C Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. while((x=getc(fp1))!=EOF){
  2.       if ((unsigned char) x != ' ' || spaceOcured != 1)
  3.          putc(x,fp2);
  4.       if ((unsigned char) x == ' '){
  5.          spaceOcured = 1;
  6.       }
  7.       else{
  8.          spaceOcured = 0;
  9.       }
  10.    }
Of course you must to define spaceOcured at the begining of copyf function, for example to char and intialise it to zero.

The only diffrence is the while loop and the declaration of spaceOcured. There is no sense that mod2 is not created. Create a new dir and copy the c file and the modt.txt. Try again. It should create the file modt2.txt. Do you heve this error message error:unable to open the filed? If U still have problem comment the while loop and leave only the fopen functions and see the result.
