Hi, Im trying to run some code but i get :
line 6, in <module>
for line in employees.splitlines():
AttributeError: '_io.TextIOWrapper' object has no attribute 'splitlines'

confPack = open("confPack.txt", "r")
cPack = list()
for eachLine in confPack:
    cPack.append(eachLine)
employees = open("employees.txt", "r")
for line in employees.splitlines():
    Attendee = line.split(",") + ['','']
    surname = Attendee[0]
    firstName = Attendee[1]
    print("Attendee: " + surname + ", " + firstName)
    if Attendee[2] == "Y" and Attendee[3] != "Y":
        print("Pack/s: " + cPack[0])
    if Attendee[3] == "Y" and Attendee[2] != "Y":
        print("Pack/s: " + cPack[0])
    if Attendee[2] == "Y" and Attendee[3] == "Y":
        print("Pack/s: " + cPack[0] + ", " + cPack[1])
    if Attendee[2] == "" and Attendee[3] == "":
        print("Pack/s: No Packs received" )

any help is much apreciated.
