Read a String from a File

Create a new text file in your prac$\_09$ directory called name.txt $.$

Type only your own name in the file.

Write a program in question$\_4()$ that reads this name.txt file and greets you, example:

Greetings Lindsay!

Note that since we want the entire contents of the file in one string, we don't need any kind of loop, we can just read

the file, like:

in$\_$file $=$ open$("$name$.$txt$","$r$")$

text $=$ in$\_$file. read$()$

Did it work?

If you got something like

Greetings Lindsay

$!$

Then what happened is the text variable includes the new line character $($ In $)$ in your file.

You can solve this problem in two ways.

Edit the file so there's no new line

Strip the new line character $($any whitespace from the ends of the line$)$ from text with:

text $=$ in$\_$file.read $()*strip()$
