Intermediate Python Tutorial #2 - Reading and Writing to Files in Python

In this Python tutorial, we will learn how to deal with text files in Python using the built-in open function. You will understand how to use the most important modes: read, write and append.
That's not all! We will discuss about file parsing and touch important string methods used for that such as: strip( ) and split( ). Finally we wrap up with a parsing file exercise to practice the new concepts. After that video you will be confident to deal with text files which is a very important skill to have as a programmer.

Interesting video, how would you identify some specific word in your file and then recreate a new file changing only this word. (Keeping the indentation of the file).
Keep up the good work!
