Python file handling allows working with files in the file system, including creating, reading, updating, and deleting files. The key functions are open(), read(), write(), and close() to work with file contents, and os.path functions like join() and remove() to manage files.

FILE HANDLING ITE103 – PROGRAMMING 2 What is file handling in Python? ◦Python File Handling is the process of creating, reading, writing, updating, and deleting files in a computer's file system. ◦File handling in Python is used to store data permanently in a file or to read data from an existing file. C R U D CREATE READ UPDATE DELETE
Four basic functions that are commonly used
when working with databases and user interfaces File handling is an important concept in Python programming
◦ It allows you to work with files in a computer's
file system Importance of using file handling in Python ◦Data Storage ◦Data Analysis ◦Automation ◦Data Transfer ◦Integration with other technologies Creating a new text file file = open(”spup.txt", "w") file.write("This is a new text file!") file.close() Try this: ◦Create a Python program that prompts the user to input a file name and creates a new text file with that name Solution filename = input("Enter a file name: ") file = open(filename, "w") file.close() print("File", filename, "created successfully!") Create a textfile: iamspup.txt VISION St. Paul University Philippines is an internationally recognized institution dedicated to the formation of competent leaders and responsible citizens of their communities, country, and the world.
MISSION Animated by the Gospel and guided by the teachings of the Church, it helps to uplift the quality of life and to effect social transformation through: 1.Quality, Catholic, Paulinian formation, academic excellence, research, and community services; 2.Optimum access to Paulinian education and service in an atmosphere of compassionate caring; and, 3.Responsive and innovative management processes. Opening a text file file = open("iamspup.txt", "r") content = file.read() print(content) file.close() Let’s do it together! import os
folder_path = "path/to/folder" # replace with the actual
folder path for filename in os.listdir(folder_path): if filename.endswith(".txt"): print(filename) Let’s Improve the Code import os
folder_path = "path/to/folder" # replace with the actual folder path
for filename in os.listdir(folder_path): if filename.endswith(".txt"): file_path = os.path.join(folder_path, filename) with open(file_path, "r") as file: content = file.read() print("Contents of", filename, "file:") print(content) Try this: ◦Create a Python program that prints all .txt files in a folder, prompts the user to select a file, and displays its contents: import os folder_path = "path/to/folder" # replace with the actual Solution folder path txt_files = [ ] # create an empty list to store the .txt files # loop through all files in the folder and add .txt files to the list for filename in os.listdir(folder_path): if filename.endswith(".txt"): txt_files.append(filename) # print the list of .txt files print("Available text files in the folder:") for i, filename in enumerate(txt_files): print(i+1, filename) # prompt the user to select a file Solution selection = int(input("Enter the number of the text (Continuation) file you want to read: ")) selected_file = txt_files[selection-1] file_path = os.path.join(folder_path, selected_file)
# open the selected file and display its contents
with open(file_path, "r") as file: content = file.read() print("\nContents of", selected_file, "file:\n") print(content) Updating a text file file = open(”iamspup.txt", "w") file.write(”Making a Difference Globally!") file.close() Delete a text file import os file_path = "path/to/file.txt" # replace with the actual file path
if os.path.exists(file_path): os.remove(file_path) print(f"{file_path} has been deleted.") else: print(f"{file_path} does not exist.") Try this: ◦Create a Python program that prints all .txt files in a directory, prompts the user to select a file for deletion, and then deletes the selected file: import os
Solution folder_path = "path/to/folder" # replace with the
actual folder path txt_files = [ ] # create an empty list to store the .txt files # loop through all files in the folder and add .txt files to the list for filename in os.listdir(folder_path): if filename.endswith(".txt"): txt_files.append(filename)
# print list of txt files
print("List of .txt files in folder:") for file in txt_files: print(file) # prompt user to select a file for deletion Solution file_to_delete = input("Enter the name of the (Continuation) file to delete (including .txt extension): ")
# check if selected file exists and delete if it
does if file_to_delete in txt_files: os.remove(os.path.join(folder_path, file_to_delete)) print(f"{file_to_delete} has been deleted.") else: print(f"{file_to_delete} does not exist in the folder.") Hands-on Quiz: ◦Create a Python program that accepts a student’s first name, middle name and last name and writes the processed data to a new file using the format: inputtedstudentlastname_programming2.txt first_name = input("Enter your first name: ") middle_name = input("Enter your middle name: ") Solution last_name = input("Enter your last name: ")
# Concatenate the last name and file extension to
create the file name file_name = last_name.lower() + "_programming2.txt"
# Open the file in write mode
with open(file_name, "w") as file: # Write the student's name to the file file.write(f"First Name: {first_name}\n") file.write(f"Middle Name: {middle_name}\n") file.write(f"Last Name: {last_name}\n")
