Check If File Exists Python If Not Create

To check is the file existed or not we use python OS module. with python os module we can find is the file existed or not. in the below example i will show you how to check if file existed in python if not create.

Check If File Exists Python If Not Create

import os
x=r'C:\Users\enaknar\Desktop\pycharm\naresh\df.txt'

if os.path.exists(x):
    if os.path.isfile(x):
        print("file is existed")
    elif os.path.isdir(x):
        print("directory is existed")

else:
    print("file is not existed and creating a new file")
    f = open(x,"w")
    f.close()

os.path.exists(x):  by using os.path.exists we can check is that path existed or not.

os.path.isfile(x): by using os.path.isfile we can check is that file or not.

os.path.isdir(): by using os.path.isdir() we can check is that directory or not.

Create a File:

f = open(x,"w")
f.close()
using python open module we can create file. Here we used "w" letter in our argument, which indicates write. if the file is not existed it will create a file and we are closing the file using close method.
