Answer 1

You use the variable "amount_written" to store the return value of the function file.write() and then as a file handle to open the same file again. That's quite confusing. Also, the file is still open when you try to re-open it. That won't work. Open the file in w mode, close it, open it again in r mode and close it again. Or use the file mode w+ for reading and writing access so you don't have to close it between writing and reading operations.

This way your code works:

msg = "Hello world!"
file = open("newfile.txt", "w")
amount_written = file.write(msg)
file.close()
amount_written= open("newfile.txt","r")
print(amount_written.read())
amount_written.close()

Answer 2

You're welcome ☺️

msg = "Hello world!"
file = open("newfile.txt", "w+")
file.write(msg)

file.seek(0)
print(file.read())
file.close()

file.seek(0) is used to jump back to the beginning of the file so that you can read from the beginning
