Topic: Text File Handling Programming Questions with answers
Class: Grade 12 Subject: Computer Science
1. Write a user defined function in python that displays the number of lines starting
with 'H' in the file [Link].
def start_H():
fo=open("[Link]","r")
lines=[Link]()
count=0
for line in lines:
if [Link]("H"): # [Link]()[0]=='H'
count+=1
print("number of lines startswith H are:",count)
[Link]()
start_H()
2. Write a function countmy() in python to write the text file "[Link]" and
count the number of times "my" occurs in the file. For example if the file
[Link] contains-"This is my website. I have displayed my preference in the
CHOICE section ".-the countmy() function should display the output as:"my occurs
2 times".
def countmy():
fo=open("[Link]","r")
data=[Link]()
words=[Link]()
count=0
for word in words:
if [Link]()=='my':
count+=1
print("my occurs",count,"times")
[Link]()
countmy()
3. Write a method in python to read lines from a text file [Link] and display
those lines which start with the alphabets P.
def start_P():
fo=open("[Link]","r")
lines=[Link]()
for line in lines:
if [Link]("P"): # [Link]()[0]=='P'
print(line)
[Link]()
start_P()
4. Write a method in python to read lines from a text file [Link] and
display those lines which start with alphabets 'K'.
def start_K():
fo=open("[Link] ","r")
lines=[Link]()
for line in lines:
if [Link]("K"): # [Link]()[0]=='K'
print(line)
[Link]()
start_K()
5. Write a program that copies a text file "[Link]" onto "[Link]" barring the
lines starting with @ sign.
def copy():
fin=open("[Link]","r")
fout=open("[Link]","w")
while True:
line=[Link]()
if len(line)==0:
break
if line[0]=='@':
continue
[Link](line)
print("source file content except @line copied to target file")
[Link]()
[Link]()
copy()
6. Write a function in Python to read a text file, [Link] and displays those lines
which begin with the word ‘You’.
def display_you():
fo=open("[Link]","r")
lines=[Link]()
for line in lines:
words=[Link]()
for word in words:
if [Link]()=='YOU':
print(line)
[Link]()
display_you()
(or)
def display_you():
fo=open("[Link]","r")
lines=[Link]()
for line in lines:
if [Link]().startswith('YOU'):
print(line)
[Link]()
display_you()
7. Write a function, vowelCount() in Python that counts and displays the number of
vowels in the text file named [Link].
def display_vowels():
fo=open("[Link]","r")
data=[Link]()
vc=cc=uc=lc=0
for ch in data:
if ch in 'aeiouAEIOU':
vc+=1
print("vowels count:",vc)
[Link]()
display_vowels()
8. Read a text file line by line and display each word separated by a #.
def wordbyhash():
fo=open("[Link]","r")
data=[Link]()
words=[Link]()
for word in words:
print(word,end='#')
[Link]()
wordbyhash()
9. Read a text file and display the number of
vowels/consonants/uppercase/lowercase characters in the file.
def display_vowels():
fo=open("[Link]","r")
data=[Link]()
vc=cc=uc=lc=0
for ch in data:
if [Link]():
uc+=1
if [Link]():
lc+=1
if ch in 'aeiouAEIOU':
vc+=1
elif ch!=' 'and ch!='\n' and ch not in 'aeiouAEIOU':
cc+=1
print("uppercase count:",uc)
print("lowercase count:",lc)
print("Consonant count:",cc)
print("vowels count:",vc)
[Link]()
display_vowels()
10. Remove all the lines that contain the character 'a' in a file and write it to another
file.
def copy():
fin=open("[Link]","r")
fout=open("[Link]","w")
lines=[Link]()
for line in lines:
for ch in line:
if [Link]()=='a':
[Link](line)
break
print("source file content having letter 'a' copied to target file")
[Link]()
[Link]()
copy()
11. Write a function in Python that counts the number of “Me” or “My” words
present in a text file “[Link]”.
If the “[Link]” contents are as follows:
My first book was Me and My Family. It gave me chance to be Known to the world.
The output of the function should be:
Count of Me/My in file: 4
def count_me_my():
fin=open("[Link]","r")
data=[Link]()
words=[Link]()
count=0
for word in words:
if [Link]()=='me' or [Link]()=='my':
count+=1
print("Count of Me/My in file:",count)
[Link]()
count_me_my()
