How to read the content of .txt file line by line in Python-CodePudding

I have this program in python3:

import sys
import webbrowser


p1 = sys.argv[1] # file name
p2 = sys.argv[2] # browser name

def browserSelector (s: str) -> str:
    browser_dict = {
        "chrome": '"C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" %s',
        "edge": '"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe" %s'}
    if s in browser_dict:
        return browser_dict[s]

def urlOpener(a:str, b:str):
    with open(a   '.txt') as f:
        content = f.read()
    webbrowser.get(browserSelector(b)).open(content)

urlOpener(p1, p2)

This program lets me open the URL in the .txt file in the same folder, so if I run this in the PowerShell when I have link.txt in the same folder:

py -3 urlOpener.py link chrome

It opens the URL in the link.txt with Chrome. Right now, I only have one URL in the link.txt, but if I wanna put multiple URLs like this:

https://www.example1.com
https://www.example2.com
https://www.example3.com

I want Chrome to open one tab for each URL in the same browser window. Does anyone have an idea how to do it?? Thank you.

You need to iterate over the lines of .txt file first and then use open_new_tab API to open the URL in new tab.

import sys
import webbrowser


p1 = sys.argv[1]  # file name
p2 = sys.argv[2]  # browser name


def browserSelector(s: str) -> str:
    browser_dict = {
        "chrome": '"C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" %s',
        "edge": '"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe" %s',
    }
    if s in browser_dict:
        return browser_dict[s]


def urlOpener(a: str, b: str):

    browser = webbrowser.get(browserSelector(b))
    with open(a   ".txt") as f:
        for url in f:
            browser.open_new_tab(url.strip())


urlOpener(p1, p2)

to read line in txt file you use like this:

def urlOpener(a='test'):
    with open(a   '.txt') as f:
        for x in f:
            print (x)

it will print line by line your file
