new to python, but not really new to programming.

going through the beginners docs, I am stuck on the file handling opening:


   my code so far:

f = open("C:\coderoot\python3\level1\inputfile.txt", 'r')
for line in file:
     for line in f:
         print(line.rstripe())
         f.close()

I want to try the different methods of opening files and reading them. 
and processing the data.  from there I will then start with writing to 
files.


any idea why that does not work?
