Objective:
– Read names from two different files into your program and write each name to a single new file.
– Download the namelist1.txt and namelist2.txt input files from the assignment page in Canvas and place them in the same folder as your program.
– Input files:
– nameslist1.txt
– nameslist2.txt
– Each file contains a list of 200 unique names.
– Output file:
– Output all names to an output file called allnames.txt
– Write a program that reads the names from the two input files and writes the names to the two output files.
Steps:
a. Ask the user to input the file name and path of the first input file.
– Use a try/except block to open all input before processing.
– If the file cannot be opened, display the appropriate error message, and require the user to reenter the file name and path.
– Continue looping until the user has entered a valid file name and path.
b. Ask the user to input the file name and path of the second input file.
– Use a try/except block to open all input before processing.
– If the file cannot be opened, display the appropriate error message, and require the user to reenter the file name and path.
– Continue looping until the user has entered a valid file name and path.
c. Ask the user to input the file name and path of the output file.
– Use a try/except block to open all input before processing.
– If the file cannot be opened, display the appropriate error message, and require the user to reenter the file name and path.
– Continue looping until the user has entered a valid file name and path.
d. Processing:
– Use a try/except block to read from the input files and write to the output file.
– Read all the names from one input file at a time. Write the names to the output file.
– You must use a while loop to process the first input file (nameslist1.txt) and write to the output file.
– You must use a for loop to process the second input file (nameslist2.txt) and write to the output file.
– Each line in each input file is one name.
– Each name must be written on a separate line in the output file.
– There must be no blank lines between names in the output files.
e. Close all input files and the output file after all names have been processed.
