Answer 1

You need to share your code within thread Description, no one knows what's wrong until a code is here for a review.

(Edit)
Review the "Exceptions and Files" chapter

Follow the guide below to share your code 👍

Answer 2

Just great.
Now in order to use the file i have to rewrite the contents.

f= open("ibrahim.txt","w")
cont= f.write('ibrahim is a programming geek')

f=open("ibrahim.txt","r")
print (f.read())
f.close

Output:

ibrahim is a programming geek

Answer 5

Abdulwahab
The error message said that the file "ibrahim.txt" doesn't exist. Make sure a file exists before using it. I would suggest to review "Exceptions and Files" chapter for further details 👍

Answer 6

Ipang,
The file exists
Internal shared storage\\ibrahim.txt

Answer 7

Is the Python code saved in the same folder with that of the "ibrahim.txt"? you only specify the filename, no path. By that, it searches the same folder for the file.

Answer 8

No it isn't
At first, i tried running the code with the file saved in the same folder with the code and it still didn't work

Answer 9

Not sure, but maybe because you didn't specify file access in the beginning, only the filename.

I'm staying to hear what others has to say ...

Answer 10

All right, now it is and still nothing

Answer 11

If you are using pyroid..
Then first please create a new folder then save "<filename>.txt" file in it...then create a new .py file in which you do whatever you want to do (like reading a file and print it) then save the file in same folder and then run it...

Answer 12

Ok RAJESH SAHU i took your advice and:
/ $
/ $ cd '/storage/emulated/0/Abdulwahab's python projects' ; export PYTHONPATH='/storage/emulated/0/Abdulwahab's python projects' ; export PKG_CONFIG_PATH='/data/user/0/ru.iiec.pydroid3/files/aarch64-linux-android/lib/pkgconfig';export SSL_CERT_FILE='/data/user/0/ru.iiec.pydroid3/files/cert.pem';export TERMINFO='/data/user/0/ru.iiec.pydroid3/files/aarch64-linux-android/share/terminfo';export LD_LIBRARY_PATH='/data/user/0/ru.iiec.pydroid3/files/aarch64-linux-android/lib';export TMPDIR='/data/user/0/ru.iiec.pydroid3/cache';export SHELL='/data/user/0/ru.iiec.pydroid3/files/sh';export CONFIG_SHELL='/data/user/0/ru.iiec.pydroid3/files/sh';export LIBRARY_PATH='/data/user/0/ru.iiec.pydroid3/files/lib/gcc/aarch64-linux-android/8.2.0/';export XDG_CACHE_HOME='/data/user/0/ru.iiec.pydroid3/cache';export APP_PACKAGE='/data/app/ru.iiec.pydroid3-q24XMYtoUpmwCORrOzd-4g``/base.apk';export LC_ALL='en_US.UTF-8';export JOBLIB_MULTIPROCESSING='0';export KERAS_BACKEND='theano';export PYD

Answer 13

You know what, I'll just stick to rewriting the contents of the file before using it cause otherwise, this sucks!

Answer 14

My text file have 1500 words but it only gives info details about the text file. Not reading it.
====My code=====
file = open("/storage/emulated/0/Download/newocr.com-20200628165538.txt", "r")
print(file)
orig=file.readlines()[1:]
file.close()
print(orig)
====Output=====
<_io.TextIOWrapper name='/storage/emulated/0/Download/newocr.com-20200628165538.txt' mode='r' encoding='UTF-8'>
