如何在 python 脚本的终端中获取存储在文件（例如 *.inp）中的多个“用户输入”

Question

I want to run the below code in my Linux terminal:

python script.py < text.inp

where the script.py is asking for multiple "user inputs" at different lines . And instead of manual input in the terminal, I want to use the text.inp file, which stored the "user inputs".

I tried cat command, but it is just reading the lines of the text.inp file, but not using them as input (what we do in manual input).

Can someone please help me with how to do it?

You could do it like that

input_string = input('How to enter the inputs? (0:manual, 1:file) ')
assert input_string in ['0', '1']
if input_string == '0':
    inputs = [] # Do your manual inputs, store them in a list
else:
    file_name = input('file name? ')
    with open(file_name, mode='r') as f:
        inputs = f.readlines()
