Opening and reading from a text file using python on Prime G2

[Farlanw]

Hi, am so far unable to open a one-line text file created in notes -get a system error .

Please see code below

from uio import *
fpath="testxt.hpnote"
f=open(fpath)
readline(f)
end

Appreciate any comments or hints!!

Many thanks,
Farlan

That seems to be quite a challenge.
First: you need to properly address the "Note". In this case:
fpath=open("../testxt.hpnote")

Second: readline isn't a function, but a method of the object "fpath" that you've created with the "open" function. "open" is an alias for various IO classes. Therefore you need to apply "readline" as a "method" of this object. I store it in a list for further processing, right away.

line = list(fpath.readline())

now you have a list of garbage, of which you can extract your text with:
line = "".join(line[0:len(line):2])
result is a string with an arbitrary amount of additional random characters. Unfortunately MicroPython doesn't have the string method "decode"

may still not be what you want, but perhaps usable somehow.
