String for text issue in python

I met some problems about try to use string in text. here is a provided file sqroot2_10kdigits.txt. the sqroot2_10kdigits.txt is below:

1.4142135623 7309504880 1688724209 6980785696 7187537694 8073176679 7379907324 7846210703 8850387534 3276415727 3501384623 0912297024 9248360558 5073721264 4121497099 9358314132 2266592750 5592755799 9505011527 8206057147 0109559971 6059702745 3459686201 4728517418 6408891986 0955232923 0484308714 3214508397 6260362799 5251407989 6872533965 4633180882 9640620615 2583523950 5474575028 7759961729 8355752203 3753185701 1354374603 4084988471

My code is below:

myfile = open("sqroot2_10kdigits.txt")
txt = myfile.read()
print(txt)
myfile.close()

Q2: Make a new empty string called sqroot_2_string. Note that there's a space between every 10 digits.Instead of using the .rstrip() method, try using .replace(" ", "") to remove all the spaces in the file and save it in the empty string I just made. Check the length of the string as well, it should be 10002. Then print the first 10 digits followed by .... Here's an example: The first 10 digit of square root of 2 is 1.4142135623... My codes are below:

def sqroot_2_string(string):
  
    
    count = 0
  
    list = []

    for i in xrange(len(string)):
        if string[i] != ' ':
            list.append(string[i])
  
    return toString(list)
  
# Utility Function
def toString(List):
    return ''.join(List)
  
# Driver program
string = myfile
print sqroot_2_string(string)

Anyone can check my code in Q2? I don't know how to use .replace(" ", "") to remove all the spaces in the file and save it in the empty string

You can just do

def sqroot_2_string(string):
    return string.replace(" ", "")

Also note that you should do

print(sqroot_2_string(txt))

so you are using the text from the file instead of the file handle
