open(), read(), write(), close()¶

mode can be:

• r when the file will only be read
• w for only writing (an existing file with the same name will be erased)
• a opens the file for appending, any data written to the file is automatically added to the end
• r+ opens the file for both reading and writing

(The mode argument is optional: r will be assumed if it’s omitted.)

In [ ]:

# open(), read()
txt = open('txt/language.txt', 'r').read()
print(txt)

In [ ]:

# readlines()
lines = open('txt/language.txt', 'r').readlines()
print(lines)

In [ ]:

# listdir() (open multiple files in a folder)
import os
folder = 'txt/words-for-the-future/'
for file in os.listdir(folder):
    print(folder+file)
    # txt = open(folder+file).read()
    # print(txt)

In [ ]:

# write() (returns a number, this is how many characters have been written to the file)
out = open('out.txt', 'w')
