Basically, I want a gap of a line between the question and the answer. Also, how could I change the colour text on the answer part (to a red one) Example below.

Question 1

Answer 1

from tkinter import *

root = Tk()
root.title("Flashcard Revision")
root.geometry("700x500")
root.config(bg = "#3062C7")
i = 0
k = -1

def question():
    clear()
    global my_text, f, q_lines, i, k
    f = open("Unit1 questions.txt")
    q_lines = f.readlines()
    my_text.insert(1.0, q_lines[i])
    k = k + 1
    i = i + 1

def clear():
    my_text.delete(1.0, END)

def answer():
    global my_text, f, a_lines, k
    g = open("Unit1 answers.txt")
    a_lines = g.readlines()
    my_text.insert(2.0, a_lines[k])
    

q_button = Button(root, text="Question", bg="white", activebackground="red", command=question).place(x=285, y=280)

a_button = Button(root, text = "Answer", bg="white", activebackground="red", command=answer).place(x=355, y=280)

my_text = Text(root, width=40, height=10, font=("Helvetica", 16))
my_text.pack(pady=20)

root.mainloop()

You can concatenate two newline characters('\n') at the end of each question string to render the answer after leaving a line in the text widget.

NOTE THIS LINE FROM THE TK DOCS -:

the string we supply can be multi-line as well. To do this, simply embed \n (newline) characters in the string at the appropriate locations.

Also note that, generally it is a good idea to use string based text indices, as in some cases a float might be insufficient in-order to describe the index.

my_text.insert('1.0', q_lines[i] + '\n\n')

Further to render the answer after a line gap, the text index for the insertion of the answer string must be '3.0' -:

my_text.insert('3.0', a_lines[k])

Also note, that it is always a good practice to close the file object once it has been used, using f.close().

f = open(...) # Retrieve a file object.
some_random_string = f.readlines() # Use the file object.
f.close() # Close the file object after it's use is finished.

Alternatively you can also do with open(...) as f : and write the code that uses the file object f within the body of the with statement, this will automatically close the file object f, once it's use within with's body is finished.

with open(...) as f : # Retrieve a file object named f
    some_random_string = f.readlines() # Use the file object.
# Out of with's body f is automatically closed by the with statement.

The full code with the above changes in place will look like this -:

from tkinter import *

root = Tk()
root.title("Flashcard Revision")
root.geometry("700x500")
root.config(bg = "#3062C7")
i = 0
k = -1

def question():
    clear()
    global my_text, f, q_lines, i, k
    f = open("Unit1 questions.txt")
    q_lines = f.readlines()
    f.close()
    my_text.insert('1.0', q_lines[i] + '\n\n')
    k = k + 1
    i = i + 1

def clear():
    my_text.delete('1.0', END)

def answer():
    global my_text, f, a_lines, k
    g = open("Unit1 answers.txt")
    a_lines = g.readlines()
    g.close()
    my_text.insert('3.0', a_lines[k])

q_button = Button(root, text="Question", bg="white", activebackground="red", command=question).place(x=285, y=280)

a_button = Button(root, text = "Answer", bg="white", activebackground="red", command=answer).place(x=355, y=280)

my_text = Text(root, width=40, height=10, font=("Helvetica", 16))
my_text.pack(pady=20)

root.mainloop()

OUTPUT(Tested assuming q_lines = ['question1', 'question2', 'question3'] and a_lines = ['answer1', 'answer2', 'answer3']) -:

CODE USED FOR TESTING OUTPUT -:

from tkinter import *

root = Tk()
root.title("Flashcard Revision")
root.geometry("700x500")
root.config(bg = "#3062C7")
i = 0
k = -1

def question():
    clear()
    global my_text, f, q_lines, i, k
    q_lines = ['question1', 'question2', 'question3']
    my_text.insert('1.0', q_lines[i] + '\n\n')
    k = k + 1
    i = i + 1

def clear():
    my_text.delete('1.0', END)

def answer():
    global my_text, f, a_lines, k
    a_lines = ['answer1', 'answer2', 'answer3']
    my_text.insert('3.0', a_lines[k])
    

q_button = Button(root, text="Question", bg="white", activebackground="red", command=question).place(x=285, y=280)

a_button = Button(root, text = "Answer", bg="white", activebackground="red", command=answer).place(x=355, y=280)

my_text = Text(root, width=40, height=10, font=("Helvetica", 16))
my_text.pack(pady=20)

root.mainloop()
