Accessing custom files

You can access custom files using any language (apart from HTML + CSS + JS and PlainText pads). With each language, access the file by utilizing the specific command to read files using the path we provide.

Examples

The example below is using a file named test.csv. Within the pad environment, the file will be available at the path ./data/test.csv.

Python

  with open('./data/test.csv', 'w') as f: 
    print >> f, 'Filename:', filename # Python 2.x 
    print('Filename:', filename, file=f) # Python 3.x

Javascript

  let fs = require(“fs)
  const csv = fs.readFileSync(‘./data/test.csv’)
  console.log(csv.toString());

Java

  File file = new File("./data/test.csv");

Ruby

  puts File.open(‘./data/test.csv’)
