Mixing iteration and read methods would lose data

Question

Problem:

I am getting an interesting error: valueerror: mixing iteration and read methods would lose data while I’m trying to run my script on python. I have no idea about this problem.

I am trying to open a text file in my program and read it. Please check my code snippet below if you can find the error from it.

for i in range(len(test_file):
    print test_file.readline()
test_file.close()

print test_file

I think I am doing something wrong with using the readline() function. I am looking forward to having a solution.

Thanks, guys.

You can not re-open the test_file before closing it, once you open it. 

test_file = open("output.txt","rw") 

The above line could save your day. Please check this and let me if it’s working!

Never forget to leave a kudos if you get a solution.

Thanks
