I'm trying to code a program that retrieves data from a seperate file but

I thought that maybe the problem was the code I had written but even when I try
and read from the file in an interactive session in the Python Shell, it does
the same thing. I open it in read mode and assign to a variable like so:
scoresFile=open('highScores.txt','r') But whenever I try to say read from it:
scoresFile.read() It comes up with a blank string: ' ' Can anyone help me?

Works fine for me.
c:\Users\Mark\MyPython>type highScores.txt
120
74
57
44

c:\Users\Mark\MyPython>type mytest.py
from __future__ import print_function, division
scoresFile=open('highScores.txt','r')
print(scoresFile.read())
c:\Users\Mark\MyPython>py -3 mytest.py
120
74
57
44

So unless you show us exactly what you've tried we'll find it difficult
if not impossible to diagnose your problem.
