Loading .txt Files
One way to load a .txt file is to use the open
function and create a for loop, reading in each line and appending it to the type of object you’re creating. Here, I am creating a list of lines, text
, but you could also save lines to a pandas dataframe or a dictionary.
from io import open
import sys
import os
path = "file.txt"
text = []
with open(path, encoding="utf8") as infile:
for line in infile:
text.append(line)
print(text)
