File Reading: Line by Line

Question: 1
Python Program to read a file “story.txt” line by line and display the contents
Sol:

Method:1

filepath = 'story.txt'
with open(filepath) as fp:
   line = fp.readline()
   cnt = 1
   while line:
       print("Line {}: {}".format(cnt, line.strip()))
       line = fp.readline()
       cnt += 1

Method:2

filepath = 'story.txt'
with open(filepath) as fp:
   line = fp.readline()
   cnt = 1
   while line:
       print(cnt,"  ",line,end='')
       line = fp.readline()
       cnt += 1

Question : 2
Python Program to read a file “story.txt” line by line and display the contents. Further count and print total lines in the file
Sol:

Method:1

filepath = 'story.txt'
with open(filepath) as fp:
   line = fp.readline()
   cnt = 0
   while line:
       cnt += 1
       print("Line {}: {}".format(cnt, line.strip()))
       line = fp.readline()
print("Total lines in file ",cnt)

Method:2

filepath = 'story.txt'
with open(filepath) as fp:
   line = fp.readline()
   cnt = 0
   while line:
       cnt += 1
       print(cnt,"  ",line,end='')
       line = fp.readline()
print("Total lines in file ",cnt)

Question : 3
Python Program to read a file “story.txt” line by line and display the contents. count and print total lines starting with “A” or “a” in the file
#Note:
#Using the above program we can display line starting with any character.
Sol:

Method:1

filepath = 'story.txt'
with open(filepath) as fp:
    line = fp.readline()
    cnt = 1
    while line:
        if(line[0]=='a' or line[0]=='A'):
            #print(line)
            print("Line {}: {}".format(cnt, line.strip()))
            cnt=cnt+1
        line = fp.readline()

Method:2

filepath = 'story.txt'
with open(filepath) as fp:
    line = fp.readline()
    cnt = 1
    while line:
        if(line[0]=='a' or line[0]=='A'):
            #print(line)
            print(cnt,"  ",line,end='')
            cnt=cnt+1
        line = fp.readline()

Question : 4
Python Program to read a file “story.txt” line by line and display the contents. count and print total lines starting with vowels (A,a,E,e,I,i,O,o,U,u) in the file
#Note:
#Using the above program we can display line starting with any character.
Sol:

Method:1

filepath = 'story.txt'
vowels="AEIOUaeiou"
with open(filepath) as fp:
    line = fp.readline()
    cnt = 1
    while line:
        if(line[0] in vowels):
            #print(line)
            print("Line {}: {}".format(cnt, line.strip()))
            cnt=cnt+1
        line = fp.readline()

Method:2

filepath = 'story.txt'
vowels="AEIOUaeiou"
with open(filepath) as fp:
    line = fp.readline()
    cnt = 1
    while line:
        if(line[0] in vowels):
            #print(line)
            print(cnt,"  ",line,end='')
            cnt=cnt+1
        line = fp.readline()
