Hello

How can I open a file on flash from Guestshell with Python?

Thanks.

Hi,

As I remember, the absolute path of flash drive is '/flash' in guestshell. Make sure you got at least 'read' file permission, and you could open the file by Python.

fd = open('/flash/filename','r')

It should be '/bootflash' instead of '/flash' as mentioned by @omz

[omz]

file = open('/bootflash/test.txt','r')
print file.read()
file.close()

OR 

with open('/bootflash/test.txt','r') as file:
    print file.read()

Thank you for the reply.

That works. Flash or Bootflash depends on the device type.
