How to read a text file using Python.
Writing the file
# We define our text content to be written in the file.
text_content = """Lorem ipsum dolor it samet
Some text on a different line
"""
# We use open to open an instance of the file
with open("path/to/file.txt", "w") as file:
file.write(text_content) # We write all the text content into the fileSee the "w" where we tell python in which mode it should deal with the file.
Modes can be create/read/write or even append.
Here we have "w" which tells Python to write the file.
If the file is not created it will create it then write the text_content.
