File Handling

a) Count the number of lines in the given file.

fname = input("Enter file name: ")
nlines = 0
with open(fname, 'r') as f: #(or) f= open(fname, 'r')
for line in f:
nlines += 1
print("Number of lines:",nlines)

b) Copy the contents of file1 to file2 and display the contents of both on the
screen.
with open("test.txt") as f1:
print ("Contents of File 1:\n",f1.read())
with open("test.txt") as f:
with open("out.txt", "w") as f1:
for line in f:
f1.write(line)
with open("out.txt") as f2:
print ("Contents of File 2 after copying File 1:\n",f2.read())
