Similar to writing to a file we can read from a file.

The functions used here are read function and the readline function.

Use readline function to print out line of the file at a time.

cake_shopping_file = open("cakestobuy.txt", "r")

print(cake_shopping_file.readline())
print(cake_shopping_file.readline())
print(cake_shopping_file.readline())
cake_shopping_file.close()

Result is:
fruit

ginger

lemon

Read the entire file.

cake_shopping_file = open("cakestobuy.txt", "r")

print(cake_shopping_file.read())
cake_shopping_file.close()

Result is:
fruit
ginger
lemon
