All the tutorials I can find follow the same format which isn't working.I don't get an error message but I don't get normal output. What I get appears to be the file description at some memory location.
# file_test
ftpr= open("file","w")
ftpr.write("This is a sample line/n")
a=open("file","r")
print a
#This is the result
<open file 'file', mode 'r' at 0x00000000029DDDB0>
>>>
Do you want to read the contents of the file? Try print a.readlines().
Ie:
with open('file', 'w') as f:
f.write("Hello, world!\nGoodbye, world!\n")
with open('file', 'r') as f:
print f.readlines() # ["Hello, world!\n", "Goodbye, world!\n"]
FYI, the with blocks, if you're unfamiliar with them, ensure that the open()-d files are close()-d.
This is not the correct way to read the file. You are printing return value from open call which is object of file type. Do like this for reading and writing.
f=open("myfile","w")
f.write("hello\n")
f.write("This is a sample line/n")
f.close()
f=open("file","r")
string = f.read()
print("string")
f.close()
