Asked By CuriousCoder42 On

I'm trying to figure out how to ensure that the files I've saved in a specific directory can be read by Python when I'm working from that directory. What steps should I take to make this work? Any tips would be appreciated!

Make sure you specify the correct path when trying to read the file. If you're having trouble, you can include print statements to debug the file path. Also, ensure that your working directory is set to the directory where the files are saved. Using `os.getcwd()` will help you verify your current working directory.

To load files from a directory, you can use the built-in `os` module in Python. First, check if the file path is correct and make sure the file exists there. You can use `os.listdir()` to list all files in the directory. Then, you can read the file like this: `with open('filename.txt', 'r') as file:`. Also, don't forget to handle exceptions for cases when the file might not be found!
