在Python中一个文件,就是一个操作对象,通过不同属性即可对文件进行各种操作。Python中提供了许多的内置函数和方法能够对文件进行基本操作。
Python对文件的操作概括来说:1. 打开文件 2.操作文件 3.关闭文件
1. 打开文件、关闭文件
Python中使用open函数打开一个文件,创建一个file操作对象。
open()方法
语法:
file object = open(file_name [, access_mode][, buffering])
各个参数的细节如下:
不同模式打开文件的完全列表:
一个文件打开后你将得到一个file对象,通过对这个对象的不同属性进行操作,你可以得到有关该文件的各种信息。
file对象打开后所有属性的列表:
关闭文件
Close()方法
File对象的close()方法刷新缓冲区里任何还没写入的信息,并关闭该文件,这之后便不能再进行写入。
举例:打开关闭文件
#!/usr/bin/python # -*- coding: UTF-8 -*- # 打开一个文件 fo = open("foo.txt", "wb") print "Name of the file: ", fo.name # 关闭打开的文件 fo.close()
结果:
Name of the file: foo.txt

2. 文件操作
a)read 读操作
read()方法从一个打开的文件中读取一个字符串。需要重点注意的是,Python字符串可以是二进制数据,而不是仅仅是文字。
语法:
fileObject.read([count]);
在这里,被传递的参数是要从已打开文件中读取的字节计数。该方法从文件的开头开始读入,如果没有传入count,它会尝试尽可能多地读取更多的内容,很可能是直到文件的末尾。
例子:有一个内容如下的文本
Python is a great language. Yeah its great!!
#!/usr/bin/python # -*- coding: UTF-8 -*- # 打开一个文件 fo = open("/tmp/foo.txt", "r+") str = fo.read(10); print "Read String is : ", str # 关闭打开的文件 fo.close()
b)readlines
readline() 方法用于从文件读取整行,包括 "\n" 字符。如果指定了一个非负数的参数,则返回指定大小的字节数,包括 "\n" 字符。
语法:
readline([size]) 方法语法如下: #size -- 从文件中读取的字节数。
runoob.txt 的内容如下:
1:www.runoob.com 2:www.runoob.com 3:www.runoob.com 4:www.runoob.com 5:www.runoob.com
读取文件内容
#!/usr/bin/python # -*- coding: UTF-8 -*- # 打开文件 fo = open("runoob.txt", "rw+") print "文件名为: ", fo.name line = fo.readline() print "读取第一行 %s" % (line) line = fo.readline(5) print "读取的字符串为: %s" % (line) # 关闭文件 fo.close()
输出结果
文件名为: runoob.txt 读取第一行 1:www.runoob.com 读取的字符串为: 2:www
C) readlines
readlines() 方法用于读取所有行(直到结束符 EOF)并返回列表,若给定sizeint>0,返回总和大约为sizeint字节的行, 实际读取值可能比sizhint较大, 因为需要填充缓冲区。
如果碰到结束符 EOF 则返回空字符串。
语法:
fileObject.readlines( sizehint ); #sizeint为读取的行数
返回值
返回列表,包含所有的行。
举例:读取上边runoob.txt文本
#!/usr/bin/python # -*- coding: UTF-8 -*- # 打开文件 fo = open("runoob.txt", "rw+") print "文件名为: ", fo.name line = fo.readlines() print "读取的数据为: %s" % (line) line = fo.readlines(2) print "读取的数据为: %s" % (line) # 关闭文件 fo.close()
结果:
文件名为: runoob.txt 读取的数据为: ['1:www.runoob.com\n', '2:www.runoob.com\n', '3:www.runoob.com\n', '4:www.runoob.com\n', '5:www.runoob.com\n'] 读取的数据为: []
D) 写操作
Write()方法可将任何字符串写入一个打开的文件。需要重点注意的是,Python字符串可以是二进制数据,而不是仅仅是文字。
Write()方法不在字符串的结尾不添加换行符('\n'):
语法:
fileObject.write(string); #string代表要写入文件的内容
举例
#!/usr/bin/python # -*- coding: UTF-8 -*- # 打开一个文件 fo = open("/tmp/a.txt", "wb") fo.write( "Python is a great language.\nYeah its great!!\n"); # 关闭打开的文件 fo.close()
上述方法会创建foo.txt文件,并将收到的内容写入该文件,并最终关闭文件。如果你打开这个文件,将看到以下内容:
Python is a great language. Yeah its great!!
E) writelines
writelines() 方法用于向文件中写入一序列的字符串。这一序列字符串可以是由迭代对象产生的,如一个字符串列表。
换行需要制定换行符 \n。
语法:
fileObject.writelines( [ str ]) # str为要写入的字符串序列
该方法没有返回值。
#!/usr/bin/python # -*- coding: UTF-8 -*- # 打开文件 fo = open("test.txt", "w") print "文件名为: ", fo.name seq = ["菜鸟教程 1\n", "菜鸟教程 2"] fo.writelines( seq ) # 关闭文件 fo.close()
以上实例输出结果为:
文件名为: test.txt
查看文件内容:
$ cat test.txt 菜鸟教程 1 菜鸟教程 2
F) 文件位置:
Tell()方法告诉你文件内的当前位置;换句话说,下一次的读写会发生在文件开头这么多字节之后:
seek(offset [,from])方法改变当前文件的位置。Offset变量表示要移动的字节数。From变量指定开始移动字节的参考位置。
如果from被设为0,这意味着将文件的开头作为移动字节的参考位置。
如果设为1,则使用当前的位置作为参考位置。
如果它被设为2,那么该文件的末尾将作为参考位置。
#!/usr/bin/python # -*- coding: UTF-8 -*- # 打开一个文件 fo = open("/tmp/foo.txt", "r+") str = fo.read(10); print "Read String is : ", str # 查找当前位置 position = fo.tell(); print "Current file position : ", position # 把指针再次重新定位到文件开头 position = fo.seek(0, 0); str = fo.read(10); print "Again read String is : ", str # 关闭打开的文件 fo.close()
结果:
Read String is : Python is Current file position : 10 Again read String is : Python is
