def read_links(file_path):
    with open(file_path, "r") as file:

    return [link.strip() for link in links if link.strip()]

"""In this function:

*file.readlines() reads all the lines from the file and stores them in the links list.

*The return statement iterates over each link in the links list, strips any leading or trailing whitespace using link.strip(), and includes only those link elements that are not empty.

So, this function effectively removes any empty lines from the input text file."""
