every sentence in a separate line.
Assume that a sentence ends with a full stop (.), a question mark

5. Write a program to get roll numbers, names and marks of the

students of a class (get from user as input) and store these details
in a file called “Marks.dat”.
6. Write a program to add two more students details to the file

created in program 1.
7. Write a program to display the contents of file “Marks.dat”

created through program 4 and program 5.
8. A file sports.dat contains information in following format :

Event - Participant
Write a function that would read contents from file sports.dat and
creates a file named “Football.dat” copying only those records from
sports.dat where the event name is "Football".
9. A file contains a list of telephone numbers in the following

form:
Arvind 7258031
Sachin 7259197
The names contain only one word and the names and telephone

and display its contents in two columns.
10. Write a program to count the words "to" and "the" present in a
text file "Poem.txt".
11. Write a program that reads characters from the keyboard one
by one. All lower case characters get stored inside the file
LOWER.txt, all upper case characters get stored inside the file
UPPER.txt and all other characters get stored inside file
OTHERS.txt.
12. Write a function in Python to count and display the number of

lines starting with alphabet 'A' present in a text file " LINES.TXT".
e.g., the file "LINES.TXT" contains the following lines :
A boy is playing there.
There is a playground.
An aeroplane is in the sky.
The function should display the output as 3.
13. A text file named CONTENTS. TXT contains some text. Write a
user-defined function LongWords() in PYTHON which displays all
such words of the file whose length is more than 9 alphabets.
For example: if the file CONTENTS. TXT contains:
"Conditional statements of PYTHON programming language are if
and elif"
Then the function LongWords() should display the output as:
Conditional
statements
programming
14. A text file named MESSAGE. TXT contains some text. Another
text file named SMS. TXT needs to be created such that it would
store only the first 150 characters from the file MESSAGE. TXT.
Write a user-defined function LongToShort() in PYTHON that would
perform the above task of creating SMS. TXT from the already
existing file MESSAGE. TXT.
15. A text file named WORDS. TXT contains some text. Write a
user-defined function MAGICWORDS() in PYTHON to read and
display those words, which is starting with alphabet ‘A’ (irrespective
of upper or lower case).
For example: if the file WORDS.TXT contains:

alphabet ‘X’.
For example: if the file DRAFT. TXT contains:
Completed 3 chapters of Chemistry
XCompleted all chapters of English
Completed 4 chapters of Physics
Completed 5 chapters of English
Then the function MakeNew() should transfer the following lines to
FINAL. TXT:
Completed 3 chapters of Chemistry
Completed 4 chapters of Physics
Completed 5 chapters of English
17. A text file named MATTER. TXT contains some text, which
needs to be displayed such that every next character is separated
by a symbol ‘#’. Write a function definition for HashDisplay() in
PYTHON that would display the entire content of the file MATTER.
TXT in the desired format.

display the corrected version of entire content of the file WORDS.
TXT with all the alphabets “J” to be displayed as an alphabet “I”
on screen.
Note: Assuming that WORD. TXT does not contain any J alphabet
other than the typing error.
Example:
If Aditi has stored the following content in the file WORDS. TXT:
WELL, THJS JS A WORD BY JTSELF. YOU COULD STRETCH
THJS TO BE A SENTENCE
The function JTOI() should display the following content:
WELL, THIS IS A WORD BY ITSELF. YOU COULD STRETCH
THIS TO BE
