That's fine, but please also respond to the replies you're getting
too.  Rather than start a whole new thread, try to continue the thread
by using your email client's "Reply to All" feature.  Also, feel free
to treat this as a conversation: if there's anything about the replies
that use terms you don't understand, ask, and we'll try to clarify.

Looking closely at your revised program, I see that you've added a
file close.  Unfortunately, you closed the wrong file.  :P

Effectively, you've written:

    myfile = open(filename,"r")
    mynewfile = open(newfile,"w")
    ## writing into mynewfile
    myfile.close()

but you needed to have done:

    myfile = open(filename,"r")
    mynewfile = open(newfile,"w")
    ## writing into mynewfile
    mynewfile.close()


It also appears that you are trying to write whole programs at the
interpreter loop.  This can be inconvenient for larger programs.  You
might want to use a text editor or IDE to write the program as a
single file, and then run Python over that program file.
