Scenario Based – Unit III
1. Student Data Management System
A university maintains student records in a file named students.txt. Each line in the file
contains student details in the format:
Name, Roll Number, Marks
Task:
1. Write a Python program to read the file and display student details.
2. Allow the user to add new student records by taking input and appending it to the file.
# Function to display student details
def display_students():
with open("students.txt", "r") as file:
print("Student Details:\n", file.read())
# Function to add a new student record
def add_student():
name = input("Enter Name: ")
roll_no = input("Enter Roll Number: ")
marks = input("Enter Marks: ")
with open("students.txt", "a") as file:
file.write(f"{name},{roll_no},{marks}\n")
print("Student record added successfully!")
# Example Usage
display_students()
add_student()
display_students()
Output:
Enter Name: Alice
Enter Roll Number: 101
Enter Marks: 85
Student Details:
Alice,101,85
Student record added successfully!
Student Details:
Alice,101,85
2. Log File Analyzer
A log file server.log stores error messages and system activity logs. Each line contains a
timestamp followed by a log message.
Task:
1. Write a Python program to count the number of times the word "ERROR" appears in
the log file.
2. Extract and display only the lines that contain "ERROR" and save them in a new file
error_logs.txt.
3.
def count_error_logs():
count = 0
with open("server.log", "r") as file, open("error_logs.txt", "w") as error_file:
for line in file:
if "ERROR" in line:
count += 1
error_file.write(line)
print(f"Total 'ERROR' occurrences: {count}")
# Example Usage
count_error_logs()
Output:
INFO: System started
ERROR: Connection failed
INFO: User logged in
ERROR: Disk space low
Total 'ERROR' occurrences: 2
3. File Backup System
A company stores daily reports in a text file named report.txt. They need an automated
backup system to ensure data safety.
Task:
1. Write a Python program that creates a backup of report.txt by copying its content into
a new file named backup_report.txt.
2. Implement exception handling to ensure that if the original file is missing, the
program prints an error message.
import shutil
def backup_file():
try:
shutil.copy("report.txt", "backup_report.txt")
print("Backup successful!")
except FileNotFoundError:
print("Error: report.txt not found!")
# Example Usage
backup_file()
Output:
Backup successful!
4. Cleaning a Data File
A file named data.txt contains a mix of text and empty lines. The company needs a cleaned
version of the file without blank lines.
Task:
1. Write a Python program that reads the file, removes all blank lines, and saves the
cleaned data back to data_cleaned.txt.
def clean_file():
with open("data.txt", "r") as file:
lines = file.readlines()
with open("data_cleaned.txt", "w") as file:
file.writelines([line for line in lines if line.strip()])
print("File cleaned successfully!")
# Example Usage
clean_file()
Output:
data.txt:
Hello World
Python is great
This is a test
End of file
data_cleaned.txt
Hello World
Python is great
This is a test
End of file
5. Config File Updater
A software application stores its settings in a file named config.txt. One of the settings is
"mode=debug", which needs to be changed to "mode=production".
Task:
1. Write a Python script to search for "mode=debug" in config.txt and replace it with
"mode=production".
2. Ensure that the changes are saved in the file.
def update_config():
with open("config.txt", "r") as file:
content = file.read()
content = content.replace("mode=debug", "mode=production")
with open("config.txt", "w") as file:
file.write(content)
print("Configuration updated!")
# Example Usage
update_config()
Output:
Configuration updated!
(The file will change "mode=debug" to "mode=production".)
6. File Merging Utility
Two files, file1.txt and file2.txt, contain text data. You need to merge both files into a single
file named merged.txt.
Task:
1. Write a Python program that reads the contents of file1.txt and file2.txt, merges them,
and writes the combined content to merged.txt.
def merge_files():
with open("file1.txt", "r") as f1, open("file2.txt", "r") as f2, open("merged.txt", "w") as mf:
mf.write(f1.read() + "\n" + f2.read())
print("Files merged successfully!")
# Example Usage
merge_files()
Output:
Files merged successfully!
(The merged.txt file will contain combined content.)
7. Secure File Reader with Exception Handling
A function needs to read and display the content of a file. However, the program should
handle situations where:
The file does not exist (FileNotFoundError)
The user lacks the required permissions (PermissionError)
Task:
1. Write a Python program to read and display the contents of important.txt while
handling the exceptions gracefully.
def read_secure_file():
try:
with open("important.txt", "r") as file:
print(file.read())
except FileNotFoundError:
print("Error: File not found.")
except PermissionError:
print("Error: Permission denied.")
# Example Usage
read_secure_file()
Output:
(Displays the file content)
If file exists
If file is missing
Error: File not found.
8. Analyzing Sales Data from a CSV File
A CSV file named sales.csv contains sales data with columns:
Product Name, Quantity Sold, Revenue
Task:
1. Write a Python program to read the file and calculate the total revenue for each
product.
2. Display the sales summary in a structured format.
import csv
def generate_sales_report():
sales_summary = {}
with open("sales.csv", "r") as file:
reader = csv.reader(file)
next(reader) # Skip header
for row in reader:
product, quantity, revenue = row[0], int(row[1]), float(row[2])
sales_summary[product] = sales_summary.get(product, 0) + revenue
for product, total_revenue in sales_summary.items():
print(f"Product: {product}, Total Revenue: ${total_revenue:.2f}")
# Example Usage
generate_sales_report()
Output:
sales.csv
Product,Quantity,Revenue
Laptop,2,1000
Phone,5,500
Laptop,1,500
Product: Laptop, Total Revenue: $1500.00
Product: Phone, Total Revenue: $500.00
9. Searching for a Word in a File
A text file named document.txt contains paragraphs of text. You need to find how many
times the word "Python" appears in the file.
Task:
1. Write a Python program to count the occurrences of the word "Python" in
document.txt.
2. Display the result to the user.
def count_word_occurrences(filename, word):
with open(filename, "r") as file:
content = file.read().lower()
return content.count(word.lower())
# Example Usage
print("Occurrences of 'Python':", count_word_occurrences("document.txt", "Python"))
Output:
document.txt
Python is a programming language. Many developers use Python for AI and ML.
Occurrences of 'Python': 2
10. Deleting Specific Lines from a File
A file named records.txt contains a list of employee records, one per line. You need to delete
a record if it contains the employee ID entered by the user.
Task:
1. Write a Python program that takes an Employee ID as input and deletes the
corresponding line from records.txt.
2. Save the updated data back to the file.
def delete_employee_record(emp_id):
with open("records.txt", "r") as file:
lines = file.readlines()
with open("records.txt", "w") as file:
for line in lines:
if emp_id not in line:
file.write(line)
print(f"Record with Employee ID {emp_id} deleted.")
# Example Usage
delete_employee_record("102")
Output:
records.txt
Alice,101,HR
Bob,102,Finance
Charlie,103,Engineering
(records.txt will no longer have the line with 102.)
Record with Employee ID 102 deleted.
