If you want to read an entire file, append a space and asterisk and write it to another file, this is the code you need:
infile = open('win.txt', 'r') text = f.read() infile.close() text += " *" outfile = open('outfile.txt', 'w') outfile.write(text) outfile.close() If, on the other hand, you wish to read a file and append a space and asterisk TO THE END OF EVERY LINE, you require the following code: infile = open('win.txt', 'r') lines = infile.readlines() infile.close() outfile = open('outfile.txt', 'w') for line in lines: line = line.strip() + " *\n" outfile.write(line) outfile.close() Hope that helps!
