Basic read and write file with python 3.x.
test.txt
This is first line content.
This is second line content.
This is third line content.
Open and Read Files
file = open('test.txt', 'r')
print(file.read())file.close()
‘r’ means read, it is default value, we can use file = open(‘test.txt’) as well . use file.close() to close file.
output:
This is first line content.
This is second line content.
This is third line content.
Write/Create File
f = open('test2.txt', 'w')
f.write('This is line content.')
f.close()
‘w’ means create new or overwrite file content. We can use ‘a’ for append in the end of file content.
