#Purpose: to read a file into a Python list
#         removing the LineFeeds at end of each record
#         close the file
#         then sort the list
#         and print it
# create empty list
rList=[]
#open the file containing records to be sorted
f=open("fox.txt")
for recWithLF in f:
    # remove the LF from each record
    rLen=len(recWithLF)-1
    rec=recWithLF[0:rLen]
    #print("rec:",rec)
    if rec in rList:
        print("Error: record already exists:",rec)
    else:
        #append record to list
        rList.append(rec)
    #if end
#for end
#close the file

#print the sorted list
