Sometime, we have to work the file in python. For this purpose we use different file operations. The File operations are:-
● Read a file(“r”)
● Write a file(“w”)
● Append a file(“a”)
● Create a file(“x”)
The file operation are happening with help of open() function . Open function return a object.
■ Read the file ■
file.py
1)file_o=open("tesla.py","r")
2)with open("tesla.py")
as file_o:
con = file_o.read()
print(con)
This code open the tesla.py file and read the file.
We have to close the file properly. Because, it can lose some data. We use:
3)file_o.close()
Example,
pi_digits.py
3.1434756892380537685783
Open this file and read the content.
file_reader.py
# store the file name
file_o = "pi_digits.py"
with open("pi_digits.py") as
file_o:
con = file_o.read()
print(con)
Output ■■
3.1434756892380537685783
