I have .txt file that has 6 lines on it.
Line 1 name Line 2 eamil address line 4 phone number line 5 sensor name line 6 link . I want to read those 6 lines in python and forward an email to the email address listed in the second line. I have a script that does this . But I don't know how to do this from .txt file . Thanks.
with open("filename", "r") as f: for l in f: // do your processing, maybe keep track of how many lines you see since you need to do something different on each line You said email lies in the second line of the file?
you can manipulate txt files by line using the readline() function.
usage example:
text file:
John Smith [email protected] line3 1-800-smth-here sensorname link file = open(“testfile.txt”, “r”) client_email = file.readline(1) print client_email would result in
[email protected] 
Have a look at this question: How do I read a text file into a string variable in Python
It shows you how to read a file line per line into an array.
So you can do:
with open('data.txt', 'r') as myfile: data=myfile.read().replace('\n', '') data[1] would then be the email address.
Please do proper research before asking.
