.readline() while loop

To iterate through the lines in a text le,


we can use the .readline() in a while loop.
I've prepared this example by importing
poem1.text
into my Jupyter Notebook and now we open
that le and
assign it to the object poem1.
So now that poem1 is open in memory, we can
do a .readline() on that.
It has the newline ("\n") character at the end.
And we want to remove that again, so we're
going to use a loop to do that.
So I'm just showing you I can go through each
line.
And what I'm gonna do hereis rerun the open,

.readline() in a while loop

poem_line = poem1.readline()
while poem_line:
print(poem_line.capitalize())
poem_line = poem1.readline()

while .readline()

while loop continues while the readline() value in poem_line returns text

a string value evaluates as True in the while loop

an empty string, '', evaluates not True in the while loop

when readline() reaches the end of the le, an empty string is returned

Examples
# [ ] review and run example
# open address to file
poem1 = open('poem1.txt', 'r')

# [ ] review and run example - use a while loop to read each line of a file
# remove last character ('\n') and print as upper case
poem_line = poem1.readline()

while poem_line:
print(poem_line[:-1].upper())
poem_line = poem1.readline()

# [ ] review and run example


poem1.close()

Task 2
while .readline() rainbow colors
assumes rainbow.txt has been imported in task 1

open rainbow.txt as rainbow_ le as read-only

read a color from each line of rainbow_ le in a while loop

print each color capitalized

close rainbow_ le

# [ ] open rainbow.txt as rainbow_text as read-only

# [ ] read the color from lines of rainbow_text in a while loop


# [ ] print each color capitalized as the loop runs

# [ ] close rainbow_text
