Write a program that will read a message from another text file and surround each occurrence of an abbreviation with <> brackets. Write the marked
message to a new text file.
For example, if the messsage to be scanned is
How are u today? Iirc, this is your first free day. Hope you are having fun! :)
the new text file should contain
How are <u> today? <Iirc>, this is your first free day. Hope you are having fun! <:)>.
