# Get the filepath from the command line import sys P= sys.argv[1] F= sys.argv[2] L= sys.argv[3] B= sys.argv[4]

# Your Code Goes Herefile_to_read = open(P, 'r') # open file

files = open(P, 'r') data1 = files.read() for i in range(0, len(data1)): if F not in data1 and L not in data1: data1.append(i) if F and L in data1: data1.replace(B,B) files = open(P, 'w') files.write(data1) files.close()
