Python Program to Copy the Contents of One File into Another














































Python Program to Copy the Contents of One File into Another



Description:
We have to write the program for copy the contents of one file into another file. In order to do that we first need to read the source file and store the contents of source file in any temp variable. To read the contents of file, you should prefer Python Program to Read the Contents of a File. Now we need to create new file and put the contents into that file. To create a new file, we should open the file in write mode, something like: f=open(filename, 'w').
And now put the contents into the file using 'write()' function.

For better understanding take look on Python3 Program:

import os
class File: ##File is class name
def readTextFile(self,filename):
self.filename = filename
try:
self.file = open(filename, 'r') ## opening the file in reading mode.
except:
print('{} not found'.format(self.filename)) ##if file is not found.
return False
self.content = self.file.read() ## readlines() function returns the list of all lines.
self.file.close() ## closeing the file
return self.content ## print the content of text file

def createNewFile(self,filename='input.txt',content=''):
self.filename=filename
self.content=content
self.filepath='/'.join(filename.split('/')[:-1]) ##spliting filepath from file name
if self.filepath=='': ##If not found then initilize as current directery.
self.filepath='.'
self.listOfFile=os.listdir(self.filepath)

##checking file already exist or not.
self.check=False
if self.filename in self.listOfFile:
self.message=input('{} already exist. Do you want to overwrite. Y or N:'.format(self.filename))
if self.message=='Y' or self.message=='y': ##taking user confermation for overwrite file
self.check=True
else:
self.check=False ## If user denied to overwrite file
print('Copied Failed. Try Again')
else:
self.check=True

if self.check==True:
self.file = open(filename, 'w') ## new opening file
self.file.write(self.content) ## put the content in file
self.file.close() ##closeing file
print('Copied Done')

def main():
f = File() ##creating objectof 'File' class named as f
filename1 = input('Enter Source File Name:') ##taking user input of file name
content=f.readTextFile(filename1) ## call the method of File class
if content is False:
print('copying failed...Try again')


## if source file is found
else:
filename2=input('Enter New File Name:')
##put the text in new file
f.createNewFile(filename2,content)


if __name__=='__main__':
main()


Dependencies of this output:
A text file in current directory named as 'input.txt'.
Output:
Enter Source File Name:input.txt
Enter New File Name:output.txt
Copied Done
