Copy whole code and replace your code with this code and see

Answer 2

Mabel Zavala Moreira ,

here is a version that differs a bit from yours, with an improved readability:

file = open("/usercode/files/books.txt", "r")
for line in file:
line = line.split()
res = "" # create an empty string for temporarly holding the first letters from each word
for word in line: # iterate through the lines
res += word[0] # take the first letter from each word in a specific line and adx it to the output string
print(res) # print the composed output string
file.close()

you have to reinitialise txt with empty character before the 2nd loop

And also no need to do txt += "\n"

file = open("/usercode/files/books.txt", "r")

#tu código va aquí

txt = " "

for line in file:
s = line.split(" ")

txt = ""

for j in range(len(s)):
k = s[j]
l = k[0]
txt= txt + str(l)
print(txt)

# txt+="\n"
file.close()
