To set a file name in Python from a file text, you can use the os
module to manipulate the file path and string manipulation functions to extract the file name from the file text.
Here is an example code snippet that demonstrates how to read a file, extract the first line as the file name, and then use it to create a new file with that name:
main.py351 chars12 lines
In this example, we first open the file "file.txt"
for reading using a with
statement to ensure that the file is properly closed after we are done with it.
Next, we read the first line of the file using the readline
method and use the strip
method to remove any leading or trailing whitespace from the line.
We then use the os.path.join
method to combine the directory where we want to save the new file with the extracted file name to create a complete file path. Finally, we open the new file for writing using a with
statement and the "w"
mode, and write something to it.
