54.Example Programs using Files



Write Python code for the following statements ( University question)

i)writes the text ”PROGRAMMING IN PYTHON” to a file with name code.txt
ii) then reads the text again and prints it to the screen.


f=open('code.txt','w')
f.write("PROGRAMMING IN PYTHON")
f.close()
f=open('code.txt','r')
s=f.read()
print(s)
f.close()

Copy file1.dat to file2.dat

try:
    f1 = open("sample.dat", "r")
    f2 = open("sample3.dat", "w")
    content=f1.read()
    f2.write(content)
    f1.close()
    f2.close()
    print('File is copied')
except:
    print("file does not exist")
#copying a binary file ( image)
try:
    f1 = open("cat.jpg", "rb")
    f2 = open("catcopy.jpg", "wb")
    content=f1.read()
    f2.write(content)
    f1.close()
    f2.close()
    print('File is copied')
except:
    print("file does not exist")
#copying line by line
try:
    f1 = open("file1.dat", "r")
    f2 = open("file2.dat", "w")
    while True:
        l=f1.readline()
        if l=="":
            break
        f2.write(l)
    f1.close()
    f2.close()
    print('File is copied')
except:
    print("file does not exist")

 copy file1.dat to file2.dat after removing lines starting with # (comment lines in python)
try:
     f1 = open("file1.dat", "r")
     f2 = open("file2.dat", "w")
     while True:
          l=f1.readline()
          if l=="":
            break
          if l[0]!='#':
            f2.write(l)
     f1.close()
     f2.close()
     print('File is copied')
except:
     print("file does not exist")

Copy file1.dat to file2.dat after removing blank lines
try:
     f1 = open("file1.dat", "r")
     f2 = open("file2.dat", "w")
     lst=f1.readlines() # reading lines to a list
     for l in lst:
        if l !='\n':
           f2.write(l)
     f1.close()
     f2.close()
     print('File is copied')
except:
     print("file does not exist")
Read a file and writes out a file with the lines in reversed order.
try:
     f1 = open("file1.dat", "r")
     f2 = open("file2.dat", "w")
     lst=f1.readlines() # read the entire contents into a list
     rlst=reversed(lst) #reversing the list
     f2.writelines(rlst) # writing each line in the new file
     f1.close()
     f2.close()
     print('File is copied')
except:
     print("file does not exist")
We can also do the above program by reversing the file object
try:
     f1 = open("file1.dat", "r")
     f2 = open("file2.dat", "w")
     rf1=reversed(list(f1)) # reversing the file object after converting it into a list sequence
     for line in rf1:
        f2.write(line) # writing each line in the new file
     f1.close()
     f2.close()
     print('File is copied')
except:
     print("file does not exist")

     f1 = open("file1.dat", "r")
     print('File Contents after removing punctuation')
     for line in f1: # read each line
        print(line.translate(trantab)) #translate punctuations to None
     f1.close()
except:
     print("file does not exist")

     s=f.read() #reading the file contents into a string
     s=s.replace("\n"," ") #replace all newline with spaces
     words=s.split(" ") #split the string into words
     words.sort()
     print("words and length")
     for w in words:
       if len(w)!=0:
            print (w,len(w))
     f.close()
except:
     print("file does not exist")

     f.write(n+"\n") # writing numbers line by line
f.close()

#reading numbers and finding average of odd numbers
f=open("num.dat","r")
s=0
c=0
for n in f:
  num=int(n) #converting string n to int num
  if num%2 !=0:

     nlst=list(set(lst)) # removing duplicates easy method is to make a set
     nlst.sort() # sorting the list
     f2=open("file2.dat","w") #writing into a new file
     f2.writelines(nlst)
     f1.close()

Reading last 5 characters from a file
Note: for the negative offset in seek , file must be opened in binary(b) mode.

Print the last three lines of a file
