The command to use in the command line is the read command. Then you specify the object to read, including its full Google Cloud Storage URL. You also specify a variable name, into which you want this object to be read. This is a Python variable. Once the read is complete, we can print the type of the variable, and its contents too. We can then use other Python capabilities, to work further on the string object. We can also read it using the SDK. We first create a read bucket object, by specifying the bucket name. Then using this read bucket object, we read the object called data/normal ranges.CSV into the read object. We then use the read stream from the read object to read the contents of this file, into a normal string variable called read text. When we print read texts, it prints the contents of the CSV…
