The Data file here is the output to the file and the screen:
There are 16 Car(s); <---- This line needs to be removed
There are 4 Hopper Car(s) <---- This is the output
Which is false there are Not 16 cars there are only 4 cars.

    What file? You're opening two files, both are "data" files, do you mean the input file?

    Your program opens an input file for reading

    opens an output file for writing

    writes stuff to output file

    It doesn't modify input file

    Do you want to modify the original file, do you want to rename outputfile to inputfile?
