[Dev-C++] merging two sorted lists using file streams...

[chromatonus 7. <chr...@ho...>]

Hi, here is my program that is suppose to read one piece of data from 2 
different sorted lists each,

like these two text files:

File A:
1
2
4
8
16
File B:
0
1
1
2
3
5
8

output should be
File C:
0  1  1  1  2  2  3  4  5  8  8  16

Would anyone give a sample program that performs this function, using only 
the "basic" file stream operations as in my program below? Thank you very 
much

#include "apstring.h"
#include <iostream.h>
#include <fstream.h>
#include <conio.h>

int main()
{
   ifstream a; ifstream b;
   ofstream c;
   a.open("A.dat");
   b.open("B.dat");
   int ark, bum, j, k, temp;
   a >> ark;
   a.ignore(80,'\n');
   j = ark;
   b >> bum;
   b.ignore(80,'\n');
   k = bum;
   if( ark < bum )
   {
      c << ark << endl;
      a >> ark;
      a.ignore(80,'\n');
      temp = ark;
   }
   else
   {
      c << bum << endl;
      b >> bum;
      b.ignore(80,'\n');
      temp = bum;
   }
   if(j<k)
   {
      while( b>>bum && bum<temp )
      {
          b >> bum;
          b.ignore(80,'\n');
          c << bum << endl;
          b >> bum;
          b.ignore(80,'\n');
      }
      c << temp << endl;
      temp = bum;
   }
   else
   {
      while( a>>ark && ark<temp )
      {
          a >> ark;
          a.ignore(80,'\n');
          c << ark << endl;
          a >> ark;
          a.ignore(80,'\n');
      }
      c << temp << endl;
      temp = ark;
   }
   while( c << temp )
   {
      cout << temp << endl;
   }
   system("PAUSE");
   a.close();
   b.close();
   c.close();


   return 0;
}
