You need to quote that filename   f   open  D  python  HW  2 1 - Copy cp    r     Otherwise the bare backslash after the D is interpreted as a line-continuation character  and should be followed by a newline  This is used to extend long expressions over multiple lines  for readability   print  This is a long           line of text           that I m printing     Also  you shouldn t have semicolons     at the end of your statements in Python

The filename should be a string  In other names it should be within quotes  f   open  quot D  python  HW  2 1 - Copy cp quot   quot r quot   lines   f readlines   for i in lines      thisline   i split  quot   quot     You can also open the file using with with open  quot D  python  HW  2 1 - Copy cp quot   quot r quot   as f      lines   f readlines       for i in lines          thisline   i split  quot   quot     There is no need to add the semicolon    in python  It s ugly
