file = open("welcome.txt", "r") # mode can be r(read) w(write) and others 
data = file.read()
file.close()

# Method 2 - automatic close
with open("welcome.txt") as infile:
  data = file.read()

Example 2: python file open

#there are many modes you can open files in. r means read.
file = open('C:\Users\yourname\files\file.txt','r')
text = file.read()

#you can write a string to it, too!
file = open('C:\Users\yourname\files\file.txt','w')
file.write('This is a typical string')

#don't forget to close it afterwards!
file.close()

Example 3: python open and read file with
