Question

hello I am trying to apply the file reading function in python

f = open("C:\\Users\\hamza\\Desktop\\family.txt","r")
print(f.read())

It keeps giving me the error of

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\Users\\hamza\\Desktop\\family.txt'

please help me to resolve this issue

Answer 1

That is the correct code to read a file. C:\\Users\\hamza\\Desktop\\family.txt" must not exist.

Answer 2

1. You can try following code also,

    path="C:\\Users\\hamza\\Desktop\\family.txt" f = open(path,"r") print(f.read())

   But your code is also correct.

2. Please check if file is present on desktop and name of file is correct or not
