I have file with this content:
Sent
Trash
Drafts
Junk
and I want to find and delete it with Python.
I know the loop to search files and open the file and I know how regular expressions work, but regex reads files line by line and I can't just search with the key words because there are many files that contain these words (like 'Send'
) and I want the exact content. What can I do?
I thought something like this:
with open(fullsourcefilename) as openfile:
if openfile.read() == "Sent\nTrash\nDrafts\nJunk":
but it don't work.
Try a multiline regex:
import re
with open(fullsourcefilename) as openfile:
if re.search(r'Sent\nTrash\nDrafts\nJunk\n', openfile.read(), re.MULTILINE):
This is not the most optimal check if you have large files, but works if all you need is a quick and dirty solution.
