File I/O in Python THESE ARE THE MAJOR OPERTIONS

e
WHICH WE PERFORM ON THE FILES

g
Python can be used to perform operations on a file. (read & write data)

olle
a C
Types of all files

n
p
FILES SAVED IN THE FORM OF THE CHARACTERS

A
1. Text Files : .txt, .docx, .log etc.
BOTH TYPES OF THE FILES ARE SAVED IN THE
FORM OF 1 AND 0 IN THE COMPUTER
2. Binary Files : .mp4, .mov, .png, .jpeg etc.

FILES SAVED IN THE FORM OF THE PICS AND


VIDEOS ETC
Open, read & close File

ge
We have to open a file before reading or writing.

olle
WHEN WE NOT GIVE THE MODE TO THE

C
PYTHON ITS ASSUME THAT WE READ THE
f = open( “file_name”, “mode”) FILE(BY DEFAULT)

pna
A
sample.txt r : read mode
demo.docx w : write mode

data = f.read( )

f.close( )
WHEN WE USED THE "w" ALL DATA DELETE THEN WE CAN WRITE WITH
START

APPEND MEANS THE WRITE IN THE END


WITH THIS WE CANNOT WRITE LIKELY 'W'

lege
Col
a
R+= MEANS READING AND WRITING BOTH WITHOUT TRUNCATING( BUT ITS TRUNCATE AT THE EXISTING VALUE)

n
POINTER POSITION IS AT THE START

p
W+= MEANS READING AND WRITING BOTH WITH TRUNCATING AND THERE IS NO POINTER POSITION DUE TO

A
THE TRUNCATION
A+= MEANS READING AND APPENDING,POINTER POSITION IS AT THE END WITHOUT THE TRUNCATING
IN THE READING(PRINTING) OF A FILE THERE IS A
/n AFTER THE COMPLITION OF ONE LINE, THEREFORE
ITS SKIP ONE LINE AFTER THE COMPLITION.

Reading a file

e
WHEN WE WRITE A NUMBER IN THE () BRACKETS

g
ONLY GIVEN NUMBERS OF CHARACTERS ARE PRINTED

e
(READ)

ll
data = f.read( ) #reads entire file

Co
WHEN WE READ THE DATA ONCE AND COMPLETE

a
READLINE FUNCTION PRINT THE EMPTY LINES

pn
data = f.readline( ) #reads one line at a time

A
FOR EXAMPLE:
WE CAN PRINT(READ) THE COMPLETE LINE
WITH THIS FUNCTION OF READING

WHEN WE READ THE LINE 3 OUT OF THE


2 THEN ITS PRINT THE EMPTY LINE
IF WE MAKE A NEW FILE WHICH IS NOT EXIST
THEN PYTHON CREATE THIS FILE (BY DEFAULT)

Writing to a file

lege
l
f = open( “demo.txt”, “w”)

a Co
f.write( “this is a new line“ ) #overwrites the entire file

Apn THERE ARE TWO WAY FOR WRITING:


A) "w" MODE FOR OVERWRITE
B) "a" MODE FOR WRITE AT THE END OF THE FILE

f = open( “demo.txt”, “a”)

f.write( “this is a new line“ ) #adds to the file


with Syntax

lege
l
with open( “demo.txt”, “a”) as f:

Co
data = f.read( )

pna
A
Deleting a File

ge
using the os module

olle
Module (like a code library) is a file written by another programmer that generally has

C
a functions we can use.

pna
A
import os
os.remove( filename )
Let‘s Practice

ge
Create a new file “practice.txt” using python. Add the following data in it:

olle
C
Hi everyone

na
we are learning File I/O

Ap
using Java.
I like programming in Java.

WAF that replace all occurrences of “java” with “python” in above file.

Search if the word “learning” exists in the file or not.


Let‘s Practice

ege
WAF to find in which line of the file does the word “learning”occur first.

l
ol
Print -1 if word not found.

na C
Ap
From a file containing numbers separated by comma, print the count of even numbers.
