To merge two files in Python, we ask the user to enter the name of the main and second file and create a new file to put the merged content of the two data into this newly created file.
To complete this task, we should import libraries shutil & amp; pathlib . You can install libraries using this command —
pip install shutil pip install pathlib
Also place two text files on your desktop.
First text file:
Second text file:
Below is the Python implementation —
| import shutil from pathlib import Path firstfile = Path ( r ’C: UsersSohomDesktopGFG.txt’ ) secondfile = Path (r ’C: UsersSohomDesktopCSE.txt’ ) newfile = input ( "Enter the name of the new file:" ) print () print ( "The merged content of the 2 files will be in" , newfile) with open (newfile, "wb" ) as wfd: for f in [firstfile, secondfile]: with open (f, "rb" ) as fd: shutil.copyfileobj (fd, wfd, 1024 * 1024 * 10 ) print ( "The content is merged successfully.!" ) print ( "Do you want to view it? (y / n): " ) check = input () if check = = ’n’ : exit () else : print () c = open (newfile, "r" ) print (c.read ()) c .close () |
