[Hafiz75]

filename4= input("Enter The File Name? \n")
            confile1="LogoArt.txt"
            f = open(confile1, 'r')
            confile1.append("hi")
            a = 0
            for i in range(len(confile1)):
                try:
                    if (confile1[i] in confile1) >0:
                        a = a + 1
                    if confile1[i] != confile1[i+1]:
                        print(confile1[i],a)
                        a = 0
                except IndexError:
                    print()

if i'm not wrong .append only works with lists

lst = [1, 2, 3]
lst.append(4)
print(lst)

this should give you [1, 2, 3, 4]

use the + operator to concatenate strings in Python. 

name = "Mike " + "Smith"

here's the reference. Most language use either + or & to concatenate. Python is in the + team

Or if you're VB.NET you can use either one because that's not confusing as hell lol

 

to OP: Strings in most languages are immutable; that is to say, you can't change the original string unless you overwrite it with a new string (or if the language allows it, modify the character data itself, either directly or through methods). In the case of appending or concatenating like you're doing, you're actually making a whole new string from the contents of the other strings you specify.
