Make a variable from what's in a text file

Question

So I want to make a variable from the contents of a text file.

E.g The text file contains the sentence "Ask not what your country can do for you ask what you can do for your country"

Now I want the variable to be a string which contains the sentence in text file: Sentence = ("Ask not what your country can do for you ask what you can do for your country")

But import the string value from the text file, if that makes any sense?

Answer 1

The file contains.

Here is the python code.It's very simple logic.

fo = open("abc.txt", "r+")
a = fo.read()
