try:
    lines = []
    with open("SomeStates.txt") as f:
        for line in f:
            lines.append(line.strip())
    with open("SomeStates.txt", "w") as f:
        for line in lines:
            if line[0].lower() in "aeiou":
                f.write(line + "\n")
except FileNotFoundError:
    print("SomeStates.txt does not exists!")
