managing external files in python
Ok so its quite simple with python
to open a file you do this
file_example = open("[filename]", "operation")
here are the operations:
r - read contents of a file w - write on contents of a file (more like append) wb - write bits on contents of a file rb - read bits on contents of a file
with the following I can do this:
disclaimer but opening a new file which doest exists will simply create one and I prefer using .txt files for this
file1 = open("meme.txt","r") fileRead = file1.read() print(fileRead)
we can also print each individual line like this:
file1 = open("gucci.txt", "r") mwmw = file1.readlines() # in parameters is how many lines you wish to print , leave blank if you wanna read all for x in mwmw: print(x)
to convert file data into something more your taste:
file1 = open("gucci.txt", "r") mwmw = file1.read() gucci = int(mwmw) #type you want #there must be no spaces or anything like lines in your file if you want proper print(Gucci)
unfortunately to delete the contents requires manual deletion (to select all do ctrl + a)
but here's a handy script if you really need it:
import os os.remove("gucci.txt") print("File Removed!")
cant import os? or only wish to delete contents of a file?
no problem here is a handy script!
file = open("gucci.txt","r+") file.truncate(0) file.close()
IMPORTANT
you don't need to do this but to stop silly errors once you have finished with your file just use
fileName.close()
to finish`
Thanks for sticking around! if this helped then give updoot
@CodingCactus @epicman702 here ya go

@CodingCactus I invited another guy to project and he didn't know how to do this so i made this, i figured i might as well summon u just in case, btw i made storyline and everything on project u might wanna check it out
@xolyon ok, I don't know how to use files either, so I'll give it a read after school
