Python supports three specific methods to read files- read, readline, readlines. All these you use on files. Each has its unique purpose. Below are the best examples. 3 Methods to read file read readline readlines Method-1: read It reads records from file in sequence. Here, file.txt is sample file with single row. file.txt abcdefghijk file_object.read(2) ==> you will get 'ab' file_object.read(4)  ===> you will get 'cdef' Here, the multiple read methods read the data in sequence. The read(x) method will read only the number of characters that mentioned in the read method. Again, if you give multiple read methods then it will read in sequence. Method-2: readline It reads the file line by line. Here, file.txt is a file with single row. file.txt abcdefghijk f ile_object.readline() ==> you will get ' abcdefghijk ' Here, it reads the file line by line. Method-3: readlines It reads all the records at a time. Here, file.txt is a file with two rows. file.txt ab...
