Handling Files in Python

1. Write to a file

with open("[Link]", "w") as f:


[Link]("Hello World")

2. Read entire file

with open("[Link]", "r") as f:


data = [Link]()
print(data)

3. Read file line by line

with open("[Link]", "r") as f:


for line in f:
print([Link]())

#strip() in Python is a string method used to remove unwanted characters (usually


whitespace) from the beginning and end of a string.

4. Append data to file

with open("[Link]", "a") as f:


[Link]("\nNew line added")

5. Count number of lines

with open("[Link]", "r") as f:


count = len([Link]())
print("Total lines:", count)

6. Count words in a file

with open("[Link]", "r") as f:


data = [Link]()
words = [Link]()
print("Total words:", len(words))
7. Copy contents from one file to another

with open("[Link]", "r") as f1, open("[Link]", "w") as f2:

[Link]([Link]())

8. Write list of strings to file

lines = ["Python\n", "Java\n", "C++\n"]

with open("[Link]", "w") as f:


[Link](lines)

9. Write data to CSV file

import csv

with open("[Link]", "w", newline="") as f:


writer = [Link](f)
[Link](["Name", "Marks"])
[Link](["Amit", 85])
[Link](["Riya", 90])

10. Read data from CSV file

import csv

with open("[Link]", "r") as f:


reader = [Link](f)
for row in reader:
print(row)

11. Search a word in file

word = input("Enter word to search: ")

with open("[Link]", "r") as f:


data = [Link]()
if word in data:
print("Word found")
else:
print("Word not found")
