File not getting output

Converting text from input file to morse code then placing results in an output txt file. File itself is being created but no output is being made.

MAXLINELENGTH = 40
codes = ['.-', '-...', '-.-.', '-..', '.', '..-.', 
         '--.', '....', '..', '.---', '-.-', '.-..', 
         '--', '-.', '---', '.--.', '--.-', '.-.', 
         '...', '-', '..-', '...-', '.--', '-..-', 
         '-.--', '--..','.----', '..---', '...--', 
         '....-', '.....', '-....', '--...', '---..', 
         '----.', '-----']
chars = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890"
fin = File.open("input.txt", "r")
fout = File.open("output.txt", "w")
line_length = 0
while character = fin.getc
  if index = chars.index(character.upcase)
    morse = codes[index]
  elsif character == " "
    fout.print "    "
    line_length = line_length + 4
  end  
  if line_length >= MAXLINELENGTH
    fout.print "\n"
    line_length = 0
  end
end
fin.close
fout.close

You never actually print the variable morse, you just assign it on the first line of the if-statement.
