Clear all text in separate file

Question

I want to know how to delete/clear all text inside another python file, I looked through stack overflow and could not find a answer, all help appreciated. Thanks!

Answer 1

Just as you would a text file:

with open("file_to_clear.py", "w") as file:
    file.write("")

I think that's what you're looking for. You were probably being misled because all the examples are on text files, but it works with Python files too!

Answer 2

Try: open('yourfile.txt', 'w').close()

Answer 3

Things to look into(google terms) to get your answer:

1. How to open/read a .py file using a python script
2. How to overwrite/clear content of a file using python
3. Python overwrite file
4. Python read file. Python write file. Python delete file.
