In next program that rewrites original written texts into new files, I see that it may need some additions or we can accept it like this because it's just a simple program that achieve its task and doesn't need any philosophical additions.
If "the task" is to copy a file, then this program, as presented, may fail at it. If you're going to do any exception handling at all, a question must be answered: what to do in case the algorithm is interrupted before completing? I.e. if the `while` loop throws an exception, which it can do on any line except for braces. Is it acceptable to leave the output file containing only part of input data, perhaps even no data at all? Or should you catch the exception and delete the output file? Will that even be possible?..
