I already looked into many answers but none helped me. I need a code that if the file does not exist then create and then open for reading and writing. The code is writing but not reading, what is the problem?
>>> `file = open('test.txt', 'w+')`
>>> file.write('this is a test')
14
>>> file.read()
''
>>>
You have to seek to the beginning of the file before attempting to read it.
>>> _file = open('test.txt', 'w+')
>>> _file.write('this is a test')
14
>>> _file.read()
''
>>> _file.seek(0)
0
>>> _file.read()
'this is a test'
>>>
0 indicates the beginning of the file.
You can get the current position by calling _file.tell()
You could programatically combine _file.tell with _file.seek(offset, fromwhat).
Also, it is bad practice to use builtin's(file) as variable names.
