Selenium Python Automation Testing from Scratch and Frameworks - Reading Text Files in Python

This video tutorial covers the basics of reading and writing text files using Python. It explains how to open and close files, read entire contents or specific characters, and read files line by line. The tutorial also highlights best practices for file handling, such as closing files to prevent memory leaks. Additionally, it discusses how to use loops to read multiple lines efficiently, preparing viewers for more advanced file operations.

What is the primary purpose of the open method in Python?

• To create a new file

• To open a file for reading or writing

• To delete a file

• To rename a file

What is a good practice after opening a file in Python?

• Leave it open

• Rename it

• Close it to prevent memory leaks

• Delete it

What does the read method do when no parameters are passed?

• Reads the first line of the file

• Reads the entire file content

• Reads the last line of the file

• Reads the first character of the file

How can you read only the first two characters of a file using the read method?

• file.read()

• file.readline(2)

• file.read(2)

• file.readline()

What happens if you mix read and readline methods without resetting the file pointer?

• The file will be read from the current pointer position

• The file will be read from the beginning

• The file will be deleted

• The file will be closed automatically

Which method is used to read the first line of a text file?

• file.readlines()

• file.read()

• file.read(1)

• file.readline()

What is the challenge discussed in the last section of the video?

• Reading a file in reverse order

• Writing a file using a loop

• Reading a file line by line using a loop

• Deleting a file line by line
