Closing the file you've read from is good, but not nearly as important as closing the file you've been writing to.

 >>> infile = open('C:/Python27/egund919/Program1/BOJ_B.txt','r')

There's your problem ! You didn't close mynewfile before opening the file again for reading. Most likely, what you thought you've written to the file is still buffered in memory. The main purpose of closing a file after writing is to flush the contents of this buffer to disk.
Try mynewfile.close() just before infile = open ..

Best,
Wolfgang
