I have data in text file as

1. ram
2. shyam
3. raja

I want to update it into

1. "ram",
2. "shyam",
3. "raja"

ignore the 1.,2.,3. these are only used for formatting.

Here you go:

# read lines from file
text = ""
with open('filename.txt', 'r') as ifile:
    text = ifile.readline()

# get all sepearte string split by space
data = text.split(" ")

# add quotes to each one
data = [ "\""   name   "\"" for name in data]

# append them together with commas inbetween
updated_text = ", ".join(data)

# write to some file
with open("outfilename.txt", 'w') as ofile:
    ofile.write(updated_text)

Good Luck!

Read the file as list using read().splitlines() and write the line using f-string and writelines:

with open('text.txt', 'r') as r: lines = r.read().splitlines()
with open('text.txt', 'w') as w: w.writelines(f'"{line}",' '\n' for line in lines)
