read txt file and create folder from single line

Question

I have a list.txt with simple names (for example: Test). Now I want to read the txt file and create a folder with the name Test. Every single line in list.txt should be a single folder.

I tried the following but it does not work:

def makefolder():
    with open('list.txt', 'r') as list:
        for line in list:
            os.mkdir()

Answer 2

Try the following

def makefolder():
    with open('list.txt', 'r') as list:
        for line in list:
            os.mkdir(line.strip())
makefolder()

you were missing to give the path as an argument in the os.mkdir(path) so in your code could be os.mkdir(line) just add strip() method will help you to remove extra spaces

Answer 3

import os

txtfile = open('test.txt', 'r')
lines = txtfile.readlines()
for line in lines:
        os.mkdir(line.rstrip("\n")) #inserting the name and taking out \n

I think you would need to remove the "\n" string to make the folders
