Tell Function In Python

In this article, we will discuss the "tell" function of the file object in Python.

Purpose

The "tell()" function returns the current position of the file object. The initial position of the file object is zero.

Consider the following code: -

myfile = open("c:\\temp\\gyan.txt", "w")
myfile.write("Hi")


print(myfile.tell())

myfile.close()

In the above code, we are creating the new file and writing the content "Hi" in the file.
