This program deals with text files, writing and reading files, and using Python to process files.


Problem #1


Write a program that reformats text files and rewraps the text to a specified width.

Here is an example. Assume you have a text file called news.txt that contains this text (taken from Google news on 4/2/14):

Washington (CNN) -- If you're rich and want to give money to a lot of political campaigns, the Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that you can. The 5-4 ruling eliminated limits on how much money people can donate in total in one election season. However, the decision left intact the current $5,200 limit on how much an individual can give to any single candidate during a two-year election cycle. Until now, an individual donor could give up to $123,200 per cycle.
