File handling in python

You may want to brush up on your syntax. name = input() with open(<file>) as names: name_list = names.readlines() if name in name_list: index = 0 for n in range(len(name_list)): if name_list[index] == name: name_list.pop(index) with open(<file>, w) as file: file.writelines(name_list)

That depends on how the names are written to the file. Provide examples and your attempt

Create a file with a list of patients awaiting organ donation, write a program where i can enter a patient's name and if the patient exists delete the patient's name from the file but if the patient doesn't exist add it to the file.

Okay, so lets see your attempt at that

Name=input() X=open(‘txt’, ‘w+’) X.write(the names goes here) Line=x.read() For lines in line: If line == name: Line.remove() Else: X.write(name)

We have to write in the file the list before this

a=open(‘filename.txt’, ‘w+’) a.write(the names goes here) Line=a.read()

Create a file with a list of patients awaiting organ donation, write a program where i can enter a patient's name and if the patient exists delete the patient's name from the file but if the patient doesn't exist add it to the file.

This is the question
