Python - Create Files

Detailed Tutorial Notes

Eg:

🐍
main.py
Python 3 Runtime
Loading Editor...
Output Preview
D:\Python_classes>py test.py
File Name: abc.txt
File Mode: w
Is File Readable: False
Is File Writable: True
Is File Closed : False
Is File Closed : True

Writing data to text files:

We can write character data to the text files by using the following 2 methods.

write(str)

writelines(list of lines)

Eg:

1) f=open("abcd.txt",'w')
2) f.write("Durga\n")
3) f.write("Software\n")
4) f.write("Solutions\n")
5) print("Data written to the file successfully")
6) f.close()

abcd.txt:

Durga

Software

Solutions

Note: In the above program, data present in the file will be overridden everytime if we

run the program. Instead of overriding if we want append operation then we should open

the file as follows.

f = open("abcd.txt","a")
