Python Read File: Path Example

You can use Python’s open function to read a file located at a specific path. Here is an example code:

file_path = "path/to/your/file.txt"

try:
    with open(file_path, "r") as file:
        content = file.read()
        print(content)
except FileNotFoundError:
    print("File not found.")
except Exception as e:
    print("An error occurred:", e)

In the example above, we first specify the file path to be read, then open the file using the open function. The parameter “r” indicates that the file is opened in read-only mode. We then use the with statement to ensure that the file is correctly closed after reading. Finally, we use the file.read() method to read the file content and print it out.

It is important to ensure that the file path is correct and that the file exists when reading a file. If the file does not exist or any other errors occur, the corresponding exception will be thrown.
