Reading and Writing

[elias.goodman at gmail.com]

I am new to Python and programming.  I am looking for some basic
instruction here.

How should I: Open a Text file, read from it, modify it, print to
another .txt?

For instance: Read a string, sort it, write the sorted string.

I understand the algorithms but I don't know the actual mechanics of
Python.

Any help or advice as to where to look would be great.

Thanks.
