Write a program to generate personalized junk mail. The program takes input both from an input file and from the keyboard. The input file contains the text of a letter, except that the name of the recipient is indicated by the three characters #N#. The program asks the user for a name and then writes the letter to a second file but with the three letters #N# replaced by the name. The three-letter string #N# will occur exactly once in the letter.

Hint: Have your program read from the input file until it encounters the three characters #N#, and have it copy what it reads to the output file as it goes. When it encounters the three letters #N#, it then sends output to the screen asking for the name from the keyboard. You should be able to figure out the rest of the details. Your program should define a function that is called with the input- and outputfile streams as arguments. If this is being done as a class assignment, obtain the file names from your instructor.

Harder version: Allow the string #N# to occur any number of times in the file. In this case the name is stored in two string variables. For this version assume that there is a first name and last name but no middle names or initials.
