Use python.

redact_file: This function takes a string filename. It writes a new file that has the same contents as the argument, except that all of the phone numbers are redacted. Assume that the filename has only one period in it. The new filename is the same as the original with '_redacted' added before the period. For instance, if the input filename were 'myfile.txt', the output filename would be 'myfile_redacted.txt'. Make sure you close your output file.

The explanation is done in the code itself. If you have any queries write a comment. If you have understood or if it is helping then give an upvote., Thank you. Redacted means to remove or hide here i have removed them .

SOLUTION:

import re

def redact_file(name):
##open the given file in read mode
file=open(name,"r")
##split the input file by using the period
outfile=name.split(".")
##create a new file
outfileName=outfile[0]+"_redacted."+outfile[1]
##open the output file
writeFile=open(outfileName,"w")
for data in file.readlines():
##divide a string into list by using split
lineData=data.split(" ")
##pattern to redact numbers
pattern = '[0-9]'
##by using the pattern eleminate numbers froom i t
lineData = [re.sub(pattern, '', i) for i in lineData]
##join the list to form a sting and write it to the output file
writeFile.write(" ".join(lineData))
writeFile.close()
file.close()

##call the function I have kept the file in the same directory so I have a name if you don't have code and file in same directly ##give the complete path
redact_file("testingDoc.txt")

Define a function file_to_hist() which takes a string representing a filename, opens the file, reads its contents, closes the file,* and returns a histogram based on the letter frequencies in the given file.

So for example, if the file nash.txt was in the same directory as char_hist3.py and had the following contents: I have never seen a purple cow, And I never hope...

Python please Write a function that takes a string as an argument checks whether it is a palindrome. A palindrome is a word that is the same spelt forwards or backwards. Use similar naming style e.g. name_pal. E.g. If we call the function as abc_pal(‘jason’) we should get FALSE and if we call it a abc_pal(‘pop’) we should get TRUE. Hint: define your function as abc_pal(str). This indicates that string will be passed. Next create two empty lists L1=[] and...
