How to copy all the text (using ctrl + c and ctrl + a comands) from a text file in python?

Question

I am writing a Selenium Project.

I tried to make a function that copies all the text inside a text file using ctrl + A, ctrl + C.

def Copy(driver) :
    f = open("out1.txt") # open the text file

        .click() #i need to click on the file
        .send_keys(Keys.CONTROL, 'a') # select all the text
    time.sleep(1)
        .send_keys(Keys.CONTROL, 'c') # copy the text in my clipboard

    f.close()

That s what I tried to code, but I did not manage. Any help?

You should be using Python's built in file read/write functions. https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/inputoutput.html#reading-and-writing-files

For your example, you could do this.

with open('out1.txt', 'r') as f:
    data = f.readlines()
