Question: Write a program to edit text files for extra blanks. The program will replace any string of two or more blanks with a single blank. Your program should work as follows: Create a temporary file. Copy from the file to the temporary file but do not copy extra blanks. Copy the contents of the temporary file back into the original file. Use a method (or methods) in the class File to remove the temporary file. You will also want to use the class File for other things in your program. The temporary file should have a name that is different from all existing files so that the existing files are not affected (except for the file being edited). Your program will ask the user for the name of the file to be edited. However, it will not ask the user for the name of the temporary file but instead will generate the name within the program. You can generate the name any way that is clear and efficient. One possible way to generate the temporary file is to start with an unlikely name, such as "TempX", and to append a character, such as 'X', until a name is found that does not name an existing file.
