 Handling delimited files using readlines()
Task: To use the same file and find the student having highest
marks f=open("Marks.txt",'r')
a=f.readlines()
a=a[1:]
print(a)
high=0
for i in a:
i=i.rstrip('\n')
i=i.split(',')
print(i)
marks=int(i[2])
print(marks)
if (marks>high): #Type error: '>' not supported between instances of 'int' and 'str'
high=marks
name=i[1]
print(name,high)

The flush( ) function
• Anything written using write() is held in input buffer
• Python pushes it to the actual file later
• flush() forces the contents to the actual file on the storage device
• close() method allows Python to automatically flush the contents

The flush( ) function
f=open('out.txt','w+')
f.write('The output is \n')
f.write("My" + "work-status"+"is")
With this statement, the strings written so far,
f.flush() i.e., "The output is" and "My work-status is“
have been pushed on to actual file on disk.
s='OK'
f.write(s)
f.write('Finally Over\n')
The flush function ensures that whatever is
f.flush() held in Output buffer, is written on to the actual
file on disk
f.close()

OS Module
Files are always stored in current folder / directory by default. The os (Operating
System) module of python provides various methods to work with file and folder /
directories. For using these functions, we have to import os module in our program.
Some of the useful methods, which can be used with files in os module are as
follows:
1. os.getcwd() to know the name of current working directory

2. os.path.abspath(filename) will give us the complete path name of the data file.

3. os.path.isfile(filename) will check, whether the file exists or not.

4. os.remove(<filename>) will delete the file. Here filename has to be the complete
path of file.

5. os.rename(“Old file name”,”New file name”) will change the name of filename1
with filename2.

 Usage of Rename() and Remove () Method

•The functions rename( ) and remove() play an important role in file

manipulation.

•Using these functions, you can insert a new record at desired

position in a file

• you can even delete and modify records.

Usage of Rename() and Remove () Method

Insert 3rd record with the new record

DEEPSHIKHA SETHI ----XII COMPUTER SCIENCE ---- AIS MAYUR VIHAR

Steps to insert a new record at
appropriate position…..
1. Get the appropriate position. Either you should be given the position of new
record or you need to determine it yourself by applying some logic.
2. Copy the records prior to determined position to a temporary file say temp.txt
3. Append the new record in the temporary file temp.dat. (opened in append mode
‘a’)
4. Now append the rest of the records in temporary file temp.dat
5. Delete file marks.txtby issuing command.
remove(“marks.txt”)
6. Rename file temp.txt as marks.txt as follows:
rename(“temp.txt, “marks.txt”)

 Steps to replace/modify a
record at appropriate
position…..
1. Get the appropriate position. Either you should be given the position of new record
or you need to determine it yourself by applying some logic.
2. Take the values of new record from the user.
3. Copy the records prior to determined position to a temporary file say
newstudent.txt. Repeat this step until you reach to your desired location.
4. After reaching your desired location, Append the new record in the temporary file
newstudent.txt(opened in append mode ‘a’)
5. Now append in the temporary file from the next record in newstudent.txt
6. Delete file student.txt by issuing command.
remove(“student.txt”)
6. Rename file temp.dat as stu.dat as follows:
rename(“newstudent.txt”, “student.txt”)

Delete Record
1. Get the appropriate position. Either you should be given the position of new
record or you need to determine it yourself by applying some logic.
2. Copy the records prior to determined position to a temporary file say marks.txt.
Repeat this step until you reach to your desired location.
3. After reaching your desired location, just write pass statement i.e. skip the writing
into temporary file.
4. Now append in the temporary file from the next record in Marks.txt
5. Delete file Marks.txt by issuing command.
