How to Read a Record From a File With Python

Greetings, I am back and shall be showing you how to read a record from a CSV file (or a text based file with comma separated values) using Python.

In this tutorial we will be using a .txt file where values are separated by commas. This tutorial will work for .csv files.

To read a file using Python you have to simply read every line of the file into an array, then add each field of a record to an array and check if a field matches a search term, if it has, the record was found in the file, or not continue searching the file.

If you have searched the file and no record was found, then the record didn't exist in the file or an error occurred, if this happens, we can print a message to inform the user.

Thanks for watching this tutorial on how to read a csv file and search for a record in Python.
