Editing text in a document

I'm trying to add XML tags around a text document. Here is my code

def codeData(filename):    
    file = open(str(filename), "r")
    info = file.readlines()
    file.close()

#reopen the file
file2 = open(str(filename), "w")
for line in info:
    line = line.replace(line, "<test> " + line + "</test>")
    file2.write(line)
file2.close()

Here is my result: https://gyazo.com/c790b6bc6a1af7f42edc1dfe8d5ca2aa

I want the words to be in the middle of the tags. Could someone give me some assistance?

This is caused by the newline character at the end of each line in your file. A way to remedy this problem is to remove that newline at the end of each line.

line = line.replace(line, "<test> " + line.rstrip('\n') + "</test>\n")
