Writing Unicode text to a text file?
(8 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
I try to write to txt file list with russian string.(I get that with unique1 = np.unique(df['search_term']), it's numpy.ndarray)
thefile = open('search_term.txt', 'w')
for item in unique1:
thefile.write("%s\n" % item)
But in list this string looks correct. But after writing it looks like

Why a get that?
Try writing to the file like this:
import codecs
thefile = codecs.open('search_term.txt', 'w', encoding='utf-8')
for item in unique1:
thefile.write("%s\n" % item)
The problem is that the file likely is encoded correctly hence why the characters will display incorrectly.

Hello, so, i'm having trouble to find if text file contains string.
for example.
and i want to create program to check if this file contains string 'banana'.
i have tried this but it didn't work
with open("test.txt","r") as f:
content = f.read()
for line in content:
if 'banana' in line:
do_something()
else:
exit()
text file looks like this:
banana is yellow
apple is red
python is good
You don't need looping 'cause your file is just text, so just use conditional
with open("test.txt","r") as f:
content = f.read()
if 'banana' in content:
do_something()
else:
exit()

How to bypass memory error when replacing a string in a large txt file?

I have a file, for example, "data.txt" with "1234567890" text inside. How can my program delete "678", so that "data.txt" will consist of "1234590"?
In addition, data.txt is a really heavy file. So you can't use pure read() or readlines().
I want to use only python tools, so "shell" is not an option.
You can do something like following:
with open("Stud.txt", "r") as fin:
with open("out.txt", "w") as fout:
for line in fin:
fout.write(line.replace('678', ''))

What is the best way to modify a text file in-place?

I followed this subject here because I want to remove the <br /> that are in my output text file.
So my code is the following one :
def file_cleaner(video_id):
with open('comments_'+video_id+'.txt', 'r') as infile, open('comments_'+video_id+'.txt', 'w') as outfile:
temp = infile.read().replace("<br />", "")
outfile.write(temp)
If I remove this function call my file has content, but after I call this function my file is empty. Where did I do something wrong ?
Opening a file in w mode truncates the file first. So there's nothing to read from the file.
Read the file first, then open it for writing.
def file_cleaner(video_id):
with open('comments_'+video_id+'.txt', 'r') as infile:
temp = infile.read().replace("<br />", "")
with open('comments_'+video_id+'.txt', 'w') as outfile:
outfile.write(temp)

I am facing with the following error while reading json from file
json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Expecting ',' delimiter: line 2 column 1 (char 948)
The json content is read from file using the script below
import json
if __name__ == "__main__":
file_path = "D:\\Freelancing\\Scraping_football_historic_data\\Data\\1.138103502"
with open(file_path,'r') as datafile:
dict_data = json.load(datafile)
print(dict_data)
Upon searching for answer, this question had an answer that suggested me to add r before the json string.
How can it be done in the case above, or if there's a better way to read the file. ?
The contents of the file can be read from the pastebin link:

You are missing a comma between each of your individual dictionaries, your data should look like

Reading Unicode file data with BOM chars in Python
(7 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
I ran the following python code to open a CSV, and the first element had some extra characters in it that aren't present when I view the CSV in a text editor, say Notepad++.
priorities_file = open('priorities.txt', 'r')
print('Name of the file: ', priorities_file.name)
p = priorities_file.readlines()
print('Read Line: %s' % (p))
The output looked like this:
Name of the file: priorities.txt
Read Line: ['Autonomy\n', 'Travel\n',...
I understand the '\n' and how to remove that from each element, but I don't understand why there are the additional characters in front of the element ' Autonomy'. Can anyone tell me why this is? Bonus points for a way to remove those characters which I honestly couldn't find how to reproduce.
repr() would help. (on Python 3.X; use ascii() instead).
p = priorities_file.readlines()
print(repr(p))
My hunch is that the ecnoding in the csv file is not actually ASCII or UTF8?
UPDATE:
This should do the trick:
p = p.decode("utf-8-sig")
