If you want to read an entire file=2C append a space and asterisk and write=
 it to another file=2C this is the code you need:

infile =3D open('win.txt'=2C 'r')
text =3D f.read()
infile.close()
text +=3D " *"
outfile =3D open('outfile.txt'=2C 'w')
outfile.write(text)
outfile.close()

If=2C on the other hand=2C you wish to read a file and append a space and a=
sterisk TO THE END OF EVERY LINE=2C you require the following code:
infile =3D open('win.txt'=2C 'r')
lines =3D infile.readlines()
infile.close()
outfile =3D open('outfile.txt'=2C 'w')
for line in lines:
    line =3D line.strip() + " *\n"
    outfile.write(line)
outfile.close()

Hope that helps!
