python writing to files code example

Example 1: python write to file

file = open(“testfile.txt”,”w”) 
 
file.write(“Hello World”) 
file.write(“This is our new text file”) 
file.write(“and this is another line.”) 
file.write(“Why? Because we can.”) 
 
file.close()

Example 2: python with file.open

# Reference https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#open

# Method 1
file = open("welcome.txt", "r") # mode can be r(read) w(write) and others 
data = file.read()
file.close()

# Method 2 - automatic close
with open("welcome.txt") as infile:
  data = file.read()

Example 3: python write to file

# using 'with' block

with open("xyz.txt", "w") as file: # xyz.txt is filename, w means write format
  file.write("xyz") # write text xyz in the file
  
# maunal opening and closing

f= open("xyz.txt", "w")
f.write("hello")
f.close()

# Hope you had a nice little IO lesson

Example 4: python how to make a file to write to

# Basic syntax:
file_object = open("filename", "mode")
file_object.write("Data to be written")
file_object.close() 

# Example usage:
file_object = open("/path/to/my_filename.txt", "w") # w = write, r = read
file_object.write("Line of text to write")
file_object.close()
