First you need to put the result on another file (myfile2) and you need to print on this file the lines thats not contain “pen”.
with open("myfile.txt", "r") as f: lines = f.readlines() with open("myfile2.txt", "w") as f: for line in lines: if "pen" not in line: f.write(line) else: f.write("n")
Second to just substitute the word use replace(,)
with open("myfile3.txt", "w") as f: for line in lines: line = line.replace("pp","") f.write(line)
