Seek () and Tell () Methods in Python File Handling | Crack IT With Anu - Tutorial #63
In this video tutorial, we will learn about the seek () and tel l() methods in Python file handling.
File Pointer :
When we open a file in python, there is something called a file pointer ( like a cursor).
This pointer tells python where in the file it is currently reading or writing.
By default, the pointer starts at the beginning of the file.
tell() method :
tell() returns the current position of the file pointer in bytes.
tell() just tells you where the pointer is.
Check the practical example of tell() method in python
seek() method :
seek (position) moves the file pointer the the position we give ( in bytes )
If f.seek (0)- It jumps back to the start of the file.
If f.seek(6) - it skips the first 6 characters
Check out the practical example of the seek() method in Python.
