To read a file in Python, you can use the open()
function with the file name and mode ("r" for reading) as arguments. Once the file is opened, you can read its contents using various methods like read()
, readline()
, or readlines()
.
Here's an example of how to use open()
to read a file:
main.py191 chars12 lines
In the code above, we opened the file myfile.txt
in read mode using open()
, read its entire contents into a variable file_content
using read()
, printed the contents, and finally closed the file using close()
. It's important to close the file after you're done reading or writing to it, to ensure that any changes you made to it are saved and to free up system resources.
