Is it possible to open windows files with python?
Like notepad, and stuff..
Thanks Dan08.
Yes, yes you can!
If you want to open a .txt file named: "log.txt" which is in the same directory as where you are working from:
log=open("log.txt",'r')
"""
Here, you can replace 'log' with any name you want. And 'r' specifies that you want to read from the file, whereas 'w' specifies that you want to write to a document.
"""
log_read=log.read()
# read() method returns a string variable
log_readlines=log.readlines()
# readlines() returns a variable of list data type
If you want to open notepad.
You can use the os module.
import os
os.system('start notepad.exe')
#Open a webpage
os.system('start iexplore.exe http://www.google.com')
If you want to open notepad.
You can use the os module.import os os.system('start notepad.exe')
