In this article, we are going to merge mails with Python
Python Program to Merge Mails
To merge two or more mail files in Python, the below following steps have to be followed:
To execute the program, firstly we require two .txt files ‘mail1.txt‘ and ‘mail2.txt’ where both of the .txt files will contain some content on it.
Python3
with open('mail1.txt', 'r') as f1, open('mail2.txt', 'r') as f2: # Read the contents of each file using read() method mail1_content = f1.read() mail2_content = f2.read() # Combining the contents of both mail files with a delimiter merged_mail = mail1_content + '\n---\n' + mail2_content# Write the merged content to a new filewith open('new_mail.txt', 'w') as f: f.write(merged_mail) |
Explanation:
This code first opens both mail files in read mode using the built-in open() function of python. Then it read these files one by one. The variable named ‘mail1_content’ will hold the content of the ‘mail1.txt’ and another variable named ‘mail2_content’ will store the content of the ‘mail2.txt‘ file. Once the content of both of these files is stored then it will combine the contents of both the mail file into a single variable named ‘merged_mail‘ with a delimiter such as “—” using string concatenation.
Finally, it will open another file in write mode and will write the content to a new file named ‘new_mail.txt’ using the python built-in write() method.
