How to read a text file into a string variable and strip newlines?

The open() function is used to open the text file, and the "r" parameter specifies that the file should be opened in read mode. The with statement is used to ensure that the file is properly closed after it is read. The .read() method is used to read the contents of the file into a string variable. The .replace('\n', '') method is used to remove newline characters from the string.
