Opening a File Outside PyCharm IDE - Read Line by Line

Permanently deleted user

Hello...

Let me begin by saying that I'm new to Python and to PyCharm.  I'm using Python 3.3.3 and PyCharm 3.0.2 CE on Mac OS X Mavericks.  I have a text file that I would like to read line by line.  The file itself can be very large at times.  Of course I've researched as much as I can using all the familiar search engines with no luck before creating this post.  This is how I'm trying to reference the file I wish to read line by line:

text_file = os.path.isfile("/<user>/Documents/my_file.txt")
     #do something to each line in the text file

I get the following error message:
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/<user>/Documents/my_file.txt'

Could anyone recommend the proper method I should use to read a text file line by line I'm referencing in PyCharm?  I apologize if a previous post has been created asking the same question.  Any suggestions would be helpful.  Thank you!

Here's what I am doing when I encounter an unexpected file not found problem:

Open the terminal
ls /<user>/Documents/my_file.txt

Make sure that you copy & paste the exact same path from the error message. If it prints out ls: /<user>/Documents/my_file.txt: No such file or directory, then there is either a subtle typo in the path to the file or the file really does not exist.

To read the text file, you could just do something like this:

fname = '/<user>/Documents/my_file.txt'
if os.path.isfile(fname):
    println("Found file '{}'".format(fname))
    with open(fname, 'r') as f:
        for line in f:
            print line

Please note that os.path.isfile returns a whether the path is a file or not and stores it in text_file. This is not the variable you'd want to use in the open call (because it's not the path).

file=open("/root/exact path of the fileand with extension")

print(file.read())

with out module it will work

NOTE:check the uppercase and lowercase of the file while giving path
