I would caution the OP against blindly soliciting for free homework answers on the internet, most especially when the request includes the deletion of files. Perhaps in this forum the worst case scenario would be the return of a scornful rebuke or a heavily obfuscated chunk of abysmal code. However, in some of the darker, more devious corners of the web, a naive solicitation such as this could end with the student's file-system suddenly being relieved of the burden of carrying around all those extra files. A most unforgiving lesson in the power and conciseness of the recursive algorithm. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Programming is mostly about splitting a complex task into baby steps. Do you know how to open a file? Do you know how to iterate over the lines of that file? Do you know how to search for a string in that line (i. e. another string)? Do you know how to delete a file? Work through a Python tutorial or the first chapters of beginner's textbook, then try your hand at each of the subtasks outlined above. Consult the documentation for missing parts. Once you have some code we will help you improve or even fix it. What we won't do is write a program for you ready to present to your teacher. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Hi, I'm new to thing forum and to this programming in python!
can someone help me and write me how to write a program that do:
- search for a string in certain text file and if it founds the string it delete the file? and
print something?
thanks.
import os
pattern = "azerty"
found = False
with open("foo.txt", "r") as f:
for line in f:
if pattern in line:
found = True
break
if found:
os.remove("foo.txt")
