hello,

I am making a sore attempt at a text reader, as my first major project while I am learning how to program, and I have a few questions,

my first question would be, I have actually pasted my code and my question below

read = raw_input("Type the full name and path of the file you want to open ")

 # I need to find an error message in case there is no file where you think this is question #1
inp = open(read, "r")
for line in inp.readlines():
    print line

my second question: is there anyway I can also write to these files?

and my last one: is there some kind of way to be able to use this to open a .doc file? or even to get a .rtf file to open the way its supposed to look?

thanks for the help
