Opening files(.txt) on python.

Question

So I started the "opening file" lesson on python core. Even though my .py and .txt files were in the same directory it didn't read it. I also tried navigating the directories using "c:/Users/tosin/Documents/email.txt" it still didn't work. Am I missing something?

Answer 1

Please link your code.

Answer 2

You only open the file, you are not reading anything from it.

Have another look at the lessons: You need to open the file, read its content and close it again.
