1. Assuming that a text file named first.

txt contains some text written into it, write a

function that reads the file first.txt and creates a new file named second.txt, to contain
only those words from the file first.txt which start with a lowercase vowel (i.e. with
'a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u').
For example if the file first.txt contains
Carry umbrella and overcoat when it rains
Then the file second.txt shall contain
umbrella and overcoat it
def copy_file():
infile = open('first.txt','r')
outfile = open('second.txt','w')

for line in infile:

words = line.split()

outfile.write(word + ' ')

infile.close()
outfile.close()

# Call the copy_file function.

copy_file()

‘A’ present in a text file ” LINES.TXT”. e.g., the file “LINES.TXT” contains the following
lines :
A boy is playing there.
There is a playground.
An aeroplane is in the sky.
Alphabets & numbers are allowed in password.

the function should display the output as 3.

def func(l): # function to count lines starting with ‘A’

c = 0 # c is the count of such lines
for line in l:
if line[0] == ‘A’
c += 1

Python statements to open the following files:

a) a text file “example.txt” in both read and write mode

b) a binary file “bfile.dat” in write mode
c) a text file “try.txt” in append and read mode
d) a binary file “btry.dat” in read only mode.

Answer :-

a = In W+ mode example :- file = open( "example.txt", "w+" )

b = In wb mode example :- file = open("bfile.dat" , "wb" )

c = In a+ mode Example :- file = open ( "try.txt" , "a+" )

d = In rb mode Example :- file = open( "bfile.dat" , "rb" )

12. Why is it advised to close a file after we are done with the read and write operations?
What will happen if we do not close it? Will some error message be flashed?
Answer :-

Closing the file releases the resources. On a large system running many process you can use
up all of the resources to keep track of open files. This may prevent any process from opening
another file. When the process ends or crashes the OS is supposed to clean up for you.

13. What is the difference between the following set of statements (a) and (b):

a) P = open("practice.txt","r")
P.read(10)
b) with open("practice.txt", "r") as P:
x = P.read()

Answer :-

In part "a" file P will read 10 characters but will not print anythings while in part "b" it will
read whole character present in practice file and store in variale "x".

14. Write a program to accept string/sentences from the user till the user enters "END" to.
Save the data in a text file and then display only those sentences which begin with an
uppercase alphabet.
Answer :-
f = open("Pathwalla.txt","w")
while True :
 sen = input("Enter something ( for quit enter END ) :-")
if sen == "END" :
break
else :
f.write(sen + "\n")

f.write("\n"+ sen)

f = open("path.txt",'a')
sen = input("Enter a sentance :-")
add(sen)

f.close()

16. Write a program to read a file 'Story.txt' and create another file, storing an index of
Story.txt, telling which line of the file each word appears in. If word appears more than once,
then index should show all the line numbers containing the word.
Ans:
file1 = open("story.txt","r")
