python open file read write code example

Example 1: 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 2: python read file

with open("file.txt", "r") as txt_file:
  return txt_file.readlines()

Example 3: python open and reacd file

with open('yourfile.txt','r') as f:
    lines = f.readlines()
    f.close()

Example 4: python write file

with open("file.txt", "w") as file:
  for line in ["hello", "world"]:
    file.write(line)

Example 5: python file handling

with open('filename', 'a') as f: # able to append data to file
	f.write(var1) # Were var1 is some variable you have set previously
	f.write('data') 
	f.close() # You can add this but it is not mandatory 

with open('filename', 'r') as f: # able to read data from file ( also is the default mode when opening a file in python)

with open('filename', 'x') as f: # Creates new file, if it already exists it will cause it to fail

with open('filename', 't') as f: # opens the file in text mode (also is defualt)

with open('filename', 'b') as f: # Use if your file will contain binary data
  
with open('filename', 'w') as f: # Open file with ability to write, will also create the file if it does not exist (if it exists will cause it to fail)
  
with open('filename', '+') as f: # Opens file with reading and writing

# You can combine these as you like with the + for reading and writing

Example 6: read and write to file python

file = open(“testfile.txt”, “r+”)
