File Operations in Python

Understanding Create, Open, Read,


Write, Append, and Close Files
Introduction to File Handling
• • File handling allows us to store data
permanently.
• • Python provides built-in functions to work
with files.
• • Common operations: Create, Open, Read,
Write, Append, Close.
Creating and Opening Files
• • Use open() function to create or open a file.
• Example:
• file = open('[Link]', 'w')
• print('File created successfully!')
• [Link]()
Reading Files
• • Use read(), readline(), or readlines() to read
data.
• Example:
• file = open('[Link]', 'r')
• data = [Link]()
• print(data)
• [Link]()
Writing and Appending Files
• • Write mode ('w') overwrites data.
• • Append mode ('a') adds data at the end.
• Example:
• file = open('[Link]', 'a')
• [Link]('Hello World!\n')
• [Link]()
Closing Files
• • Always close the file using close() to free up
resources.
• • Or use with-statement for automatic closing.
• Example:
• with open('[Link]', 'r') as file:
• data = [Link]()
• print(data)
Manipulating Directories using OS
Module
• • import os
• • [Link]('new_folder') → Create directory
• • [Link]() → Get current directory
• • [Link]() → List files
• • [Link]('[Link]') → Delete file
Using Sys Module
• • import sys
• • [Link] → Shows Python version
• • [Link] → Shows system path list
• • [Link]() → Exits program
Reading and Writing Numbers
• Example:
• with open('[Link]', 'w') as f:
• [Link](str(1234))

• with open('[Link]', 'r') as f:


• num = int([Link]())
• print(num)
Creating and Reading Formatted
Files (CSV, TSV)
• • CSV (Comma Separated Values) and TSV (Tab
Separated Values)
• Example (CSV):
• import csv
• with open('[Link]', 'w', newline='') as file:
• writer = [Link](file)
• [Link](['Name', 'Age'])
• [Link](['Divya', 18])
Summary
• • File operations: Create, Open, Read, Write,
Append, Close.
• • Use os and sys modules for file and system
tasks.
• • Handle text, numbers, and formatted files
(CSV, TSV).
• • Always close files properly.
