Turn every line of txt into list with strings

Question

how to turn each line of txt file into list of strings

example sentences

board games for kids
house with view on the sea

I need output like this in python

sentences = ["board games for kids ","house  with view on the sea"]

I'm voting to close this question for the "needs debugging details" reason. This is a trivial file i/o task you should be able to attempt after reading a bare minimum of documentation and related questions. For this reason we expect you to share your attempt, not just a code writing request. — timgeb, Mar 15 '22 at 11:22

with open('file.txt','r') as f:
    sentences = list(f)

Or if you don't want the \n at the end just do

with open('file.txt','r') as f:
    sentences = [line[:-1] for line in f]

this assumes the last line ends with a newline character – timgeb Mar 15 '22 at 11:42
