Python Program Read a File Line by Line Into a List

 

Example 1: Using readlines()

with open("data_file.txt") as f:

    content_list = f.readlines()

# print the list

print(content_list)

# remove new line characters

content_list = [x.strip() for x in content_list]

print(content_list)

Example 2: Using for loop and list comprehension

with open('data_file.txt') as f:

    content_list = [line for line in f]

print(content_list)

# removing the characters

with open('data_file.txt') as f:

    content_list = [line.rstrip() for line in f]

print(content_list)
