Write a program that first reads in the name of an input file, followed by two strings representing the lower and upper bounds of a search range. The file should be read using the file. readlines () method. The input file contains a list of alphabetical, ten-letter strings, each on a separate line. Your program should output all strings from the list that are within that range (inclusive of the bounds).

filepath = 'Iliad. txt'

start = 'sometxtstart'

end = 'sometxtend'

apending = False

out = ""

with open (filepath) as fp:

line = fp. readline ()

while line:

txt = line. strip ()

if (txt = = end):

apending = False

if (apending):

out+=txt + '/n'

if (txt = = start):

apending = True

line = fp. readline ()

print (out)
