books = []

fp = open ("bookTitles. txt")

for line in fp. readlines ():

title = line. strip ()

if title not in books:

books. append (title)

fp. close ()

fout = open ("noDuplicates. txt", "w")

for title in books:

print (tile, file=fout)

fout. close ()

except FileNotFoundError:

print ("Unable to open bookTitles. txt")
