and handles potential file errors gracefully.
13 Create a function that splits a text file into multiple smaller files based on a specified K2 CO5
number of lines and explain the implementation.
14 Design a Python module that includes functions for error handling during file operations K2 CO5
and demonstrates how to use these functions in a script.
15 Write a script to validate a range of numbers read from a file, ensuring they fall within a K2 CO5
specified range, and handle any errors during processing.
16 Develop a Python program to create and manage a simple log file that records various K2 CO5
events or errors during execution.
17 Create a Python script that reads a file containing multiple lines of text and processes K2 CO5
each line to count occurrences of specific keywords.
18 Write a Python function to validate and correct malformed data in a file, and ensure the K2 CO5
file content adheres to specified formats.
19 Implement a Python script that demonstrates how to use the shutil module for file K2 CO5
copying and moving, with proper exception handling.
20 Design a comprehensive file processing script that reads a text file, performs operations K2 CO5
such as sorting and filtering, and writes the results to a new file.

Level
1 Create a comprehensive file processing system that reads, processes, and writes data to K3 CO5
multiple files. Include features such as error handling, file management, and user
 interaction.
2 Develop a robust Python package for file operations that includes modules for reading, K3 CO5
writing, copying, and deleting files. Demonstrate how to use this package in various
scenarios.
