在Google colaboratory中打开上传的文件

Question

When I upload and try to open the file using the below code, I am getting this error:

IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

My code is as follows:

from google.colab import files

#upload file
uploaded = files.upload() 

# Open file
f = open(uploaded['small.txt'], 'r')

# Feed the file text into findall(); it returns a list of all the found strings
strings = re.findall(r'ne\w', f.read())

Answer 1

The problem is this line:

f = open(uploaded['small.txt'], 'r')

When you upload a file using uploaded = files.upload() , the actual file contents are stored in uploaded['small.txt'] , not the path.

So, I believe it should fix the error to simply use uploaded['small.txt'] directly in the regexp, eg,

strings = re.findall(r'ne\w', uploaded['small.txt'])
