The program is written on 9 lines and the line by line explanation is as follows:
Line 1:
This defines the function
Line 2:
This begins a try except exception that returns an exception if an error is encountered
Line 3:
This open the source file using open and with statement
Line 4:
This open the destination file using open and with statement and also makes it writable
Line 5:
This iterates through the content of the source file; line by line
Line 6:
This writes the content to the destination file
Line 7 & 8:
This is returned if an error is encountered
Line 9:
This prints that the file has been successfully copied
To call the function from main; use
copy(filename1, filename2)
Where filename1 and filename2 are names of source and destination files.
Take for instance:
filename1 = "test1.txt"
filename1 = "test2.txt"
copy(filename1, filename2)
The above will copy from test1.txt to test2.txt
The function copies text from one file to another. The program written in python 3 goes thus
def copy(filename1, filename2):
#initialize a function names copy and takes two arguments which are two files
try:
#initiate exception to prevent program throwing an error
with open(filename1, "r") as file1 :
#open file1 in the read mode with an alias
with open(filename2, "w") as file2:
#open file 2 in write mode with an alias
for line in file1:
#loop through each line in file 1
file2.write(line)
#copy / write the line in file2
except:
print("Error copying file")
#display if an error is encountered
print("File Copied")
#if no error, display file copied
