//and you didn't write file.read()
and make sure txt file is in same folder

file = open('mbox.txt','r')
lines = file.read()
print(lines)

Answer 5

Yeah, sure just simple one, practicing the stuff with opening and reading files but got stuck at the very first step.
The code is:
file = open('mbox.txt','r')
print(file)

Answer 6

Yeah, have seen, I have even added the hole path to the file as well but still the result is the same

Answer 7

I think you should put the whole directory instead.

Answer 8

Well I've just tried, failed(

Answer 9

file = open('C:\\Users\\Matebook\\Desktop\\py4e\\ex_7\\mbox.txt','r')

Answer 11

Well, it's interesting: my first file I saved in .txt and it didn't work but then I decided to follow KnuckleBars advice and resaved the file by notepad for C++ and reran my program and it actually opened, my first txt file I created by using Windows text document tool

Answer 12

C++ file reading works way better than this.
