The Payroll Department keeps a list of employee information for each pay period in a text file. The format of each line of the file is the following: Write a program that inputs a filename from the user and prints to the terminal a report of the wages paid to the employees for the given period. The report should be in tabular forma

In Python:

fname = input("Filename: ")

a_file = open(fname)

lines = a_file.readlines()

print("Name\t\tHours\t\tTotal Pay")

for line in lines:

eachline = line.rstrip(" ")

for cont in eachline:

 print(cont,end="\t")

print()

Explanation:

This prompts the user for file name

fname = input("Filename: ")

This opens the file

a_file = open(fname)

This reads the lines of the file

lines = a_file.readlines()

This prints the header of the report

print("Name\t\tHours\t\tTotal Pay")

This iterates through the content of each line

for line in lines:

This splits each line into tokens

eachline = line.rstrip(" ")

This iterates through the token and print the content of the file

for cont in eachline:

 print(cont,end="\t")

print()
