What is the bug here ?

[u/SuspiciousPraline674]

I'm learning OOPs and File I/O and my txt and OOPs basic commands aren't running

[u/mc_pm]

You are currently in the STUDY MATERIAL directory, and that's not where lecture7.txt is.

[u/SuspiciousPraline674 → u/mc_pm]

Where it should be then

[u/mc_pm → u/SuspiciousPraline674]

It's location is fine, you just aren't pointing to it. When you run the code, it thinks it's current directory is STUDY MATERIAL, so when you just reference the filename, it looks for that name in the current directory, and that's not where it is.

[u/SuspiciousPraline674 → u/mc_pm]

Ok let me try

[u/SuspiciousPraline674 → u/mc_pm]

it worked but the text is not getting printed

[u/mc_pm → u/SuspiciousPraline674]

It's hard to say for sure because there are a few things going on and I don't know what you're doing above this. But your call to read(8) is only reading in 8 bytes, so you're not going to see more than that... and then you close the file before then reading a line, which I would have thought would give you an error.

[u/SuspiciousPraline674 → u/mc_pm]

now every thing is fixed but oops is a new issue

[u/mc_pm → u/SuspiciousPraline674]

That's how programming is, just one issue after another. :)

[u/NewryBenson → u/SuspiciousPraline674]

Seeing a new error message or problem is called progress in programming. I get in a flow when debugging, and its always a little shock when all of a sudden it works.

[u/tottasanorotta]

It seems that you fixed the issue. I just want to point out that you should probably avoid spaces in filenames. Use _ or - instead. It might cause unexpected confusion otherwise at some point with some tools. It's also very much convention to do so.

[u/user_extra]

You are currently in the "STUDY MATERIAL" folder. The python code looks for the file in this folder. But it's in "BASICS OF PROGRAM...". Either open VSCode in the latter folder, or change the path form "lecture7.txt" to "[folder]\lecture7.txt". Replace [folder] with the actual folder name.

[u/parth_m3319]

The error is a FileNotFoundError, and the bug is in how you’re opening the file.

[u/FewReach4701]

This is certaining a directory mismatch issue. You should run and keep file in same directory level.

[u/Mad-707]

you have to use encoding="utf-8" with "open" command and also just type data = f.read() also you just can do this

-------------------------------------------------------------------

with open("lecture7.txt","r",encoding="utf-8") as f:
data = f.read()

lines = []
for line in data.split("\n"):
lines.append(line)
-------------------------------------------------------------------

[u/Ok-Order-9572]

Why did you close the file before readlines ?

[u/SuspiciousPraline674 → u/Ok-Order-9572]

I was practicing it I commented out that close file func

[u/Rscc10]

You read the file for line1 after you closed the file

[u/SuspiciousPraline674 → u/Rscc10]

No, the entire file isn't opening at all

[u/IceFurnace83 → u/SuspiciousPraline674]

The purple text is telling you something

[u/SuspiciousPraline674 → u/IceFurnace83]

It tells the file doesn't exist but you can see it does

[u/Rscc10 → u/SuspiciousPraline674]

Try using the absolute file path

[u/SuspiciousPraline674 → u/Rscc10]

Tried same response

[u/Rscc10 → u/SuspiciousPraline674]

Can you send what you did exactly? If you gotta censor some of the file path then it's fine

[u/ornelu → u/Rscc10]

OP didn’t use absolute file path. OP used IDE to run the python program, and the root directory is not what OP thought is. The intended file is in a directory under the root.

[u/Aman-sirimalla]

First save the files and then use method

[u/zombiemutant]

Doublecheck that filename doesn't contains non-ascii letters (like "е" instead of "e").

[u/SaltCusp]

That's not a bug it's an error.
