<div>It was a little hard to follow your logic of your sample code (writing, reading and writing again), but <br>(1)The difference between r and r+.....<br>- 'r+' opens the file for both reading and writing.<br>- 'r' should be used when the file will only be read.
</div>
<div>
<p>I am not sure on how you want to store the contents of the file, but I have provided an example below. You could do something like this:<br>----------------------------------------------------------------------<br>fileContent = open(fname, 'r')
</p>
<p>a = fileContent.readlines(); fileContent.close()<br><br>print a</p>
<p>----------------------------------------------------------------------</p>
<p>(2) If you are just going to read the file, then yes I would use just the 'r' argument.</p><br><br> </div>
