Basically I want my python code to be able to read the line I have in my .txt file and print it out in another file when called.

What I have tried:

import os
import random
import time

var = open("Test.txt")
print(var)

And what I get when I use that:

<_io.TextIOWrapper name='Test.txt' mode='r' encoding='US-ASCII'>

What does that do that you didn't expect, or not do that you did?
Where are you stuck?
What help do you need?

Solution 1

You only open the file, you have not read anything from it. See 7. Input and Output — Python 3.6.3 documentation[^]
