Python file program to replace space by an underscore in a file

In this python file program, we will replace space by an underscore in a file with the help of the below-given steps. Let’s consider we have readcontent.txt file with the below content.

				
					#readcontent.txt
My name is john.
I'm 20 years old.
I'm learning python at sqatools.
I'm from Australia.

Steps to solve the program

Open the first file using open(“readcontent.txt”,”r”).
Read the data in the file using read().
Replace the space in the data with “_” using replace() and store the output in the new variable.
Open the second file using open(“writecontent.txt”,”w”).
Write the new data in the second file using write().

				
					# Open file in read mode
f1=open("readcontent.txt","r")
# Read data
data=f1.read()
# Replace space by underscore
data=data.replace(" ","_")
# Open file in write mode
f2=open("file2.txt","w")
# Write new data to file
f2.write(data)

Output: Open the writecontent.txt file to see the ouput.

Program to display words from a file that has less than 5 characters

In this python file program, we will display words from a file that has less than 5 characters with the help of the below-given steps. Let’s consider we have readcontent.txt file with the below content.

				
					#readcontent.txt
My name is john.
I'm 20 years old.
I'm learning python at sqatools.
I'm from Australia.

Steps to solve the program

Open the file by using open(“readcontent.txt”).
Where the file name is the name of the file.
Read the data and split it into words using file.read().split().
Use a for loop to iterate over the words.
If the length of the word is less than 5 then print that word.
Use an if statement for this purpose.

				
					# Open the file
file = open('readcontent.txt')
# Read data and converting it into words
words = file.read().split()
# Iterate over words
for word in words:
# Check for words having length less than 5
    if len(word)<5:
    # Print output
        print(word,end=" ")

Output:

My name is I’m 20 old. I’m at I’m from

					#readcontent.txt
My name is john.
I'm 20 years old.
I'm learning python at sqatools.
I'm from Australia.

Steps to solve the program

Open the first file in the reading mode using open(‘readcontent.txt’,’r’).
Open the second file in the append mode using open(‘writecontent.txt’,’a’).
Read the lines of the file using readlines().
Use a for loop to iterate over the lines.
Using an if statement to check whether ‘t’ is in the line or not.
If yes then add that line to the second file using write().
Now close both files.

				
					# open file read mode
f1=open('readcontent.txt','r')
# open file in append mode
f2=open('writecontent.txt','a')
# Read lines from the file
lines=f1.readlines()
# Iterate over lines
for line in lines:
# Check for t in the lines
    if 't' in line:
    # Write lines to writecontent.txt file
        f2.write(line)
# Close the file
f1.close()
f2.close()

Output : Open writecontent.txt file to see the output.
