= Description =
Write and read files using MircoPython.


= Write to File =

<syntaxhighlight lang="python" line='line'>
# write 100 random values to a file
import random
import os

file = open('datafile01.txt', 'a')
for i in range(100):
    random_integer = random.randint(1, 1000)
    file.write(str(i) + "; " + str(random_integer) + "\n")
    print(str(i) + "; " + str(random_integer))
file.close()
</syntaxhighlight>


Or and alternative: here the file is closed automatically when the block inside the with statement is exited.

<syntaxhighlight lang="python" line='line'>
# write 100 random values to a fileimport random

# Use a context manager to handle the file
with open('datafile02.txt', 'a') as file:
    for i in range(100):
        random_integer = random.randint(1, 1000)
        file.write(str(i) + "; " + str(random_integer) + "\n")
        print(str(i) + "; " + str(random_integer))
</syntaxhighlight>
