Its a function. You can tell because you need to use parens.
print, by contrast, is a command and doesn't need parens...

cmon man.
If you see an invalid syntax error,
look on the preceeding line.
it's usually caused by not enough parenthesis for your function call.

The problem is you used 'file' as a name. But file() is the function
to open a file. So in the second line you call your filename as
if it was a function!
Try using 'filename' for your variable instead. It's never a good
idea to us

Assuming we are dealing with strings then there are two.
The string objects provide a replace() method and the
