I'm currently working on a program that reads a given file and then makes folders based on the names in the file. The text file is located in the program directory. When I run my code it gives me this error: OSError: [WinError 123] The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect: 'duck\n' It also creates the files, but they are the letters of the first word in the text file rather than all the names. I'm very lost.
This is my code:
import os
import sys
my_file = open("new clients.txt", "r")
list = my_file.readlines()
print(list)
for items in list:
os.mkdir(items)
The names within the text file are:
duck crane boris kat
CodePudding user response:
my_file.readlines()
will include the newline character at the end of a line.
I think what you want instead, is the split method.
Simply change my_file.readlines()
to my_file.read().split()
, and you should be set.
