how to read a text file python code example

Example 1: get text from txt file python

with open ("data.txt", "r") as myfile:
    data = myfile.read().splitlines()

Example 2: python make txt file

file = open("text.txt", "w") 
file.write("Your text goes here") 
file.close() 
'r' open for reading (default)
'w' open for writing, truncating the file first
'x' open for exclusive creation, failing if the file already exists
'a' open for writing, appending to the end of the file if it exists

Example 3: Write a Python program to read an entire text file

# Program to read entire file
import os
PATH = "H:\\py_learning\\interviewsprep"
os.chdir(PATH)
def file_read(fname,mode='r+'):
    try:
        with open(fname) as txt:
            print(txt.read())
            print('>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>')
    except FileNotFoundError:
        print("check file existance in current working directory i.e : ",os.getcwd())
        print('provide file existance path to PATH variable')
    finally:
        pass
file_read('file1.txt')
