Personalized Letter Generator

Overview

The Personalized Letter Generator is a Python script that automates the process of generating personalized letters for multiple recipients. It reads a list of names from a file, replaces a placeholder in a letter template with each name, and creates individualized letters for each recipient.

How It Works

1. Input Files:

   • Names_container.txt: Contains a list of names, with each name on a separate line.
   • Letter_container.txt: Contains the letter template with a placeholder [NAME] where the recipient's name will be inserted.

2. Processing:

   • The script reads the list of names from Names_container.txt.
   • It reads the letter template from Letter_container.txt.
   • For each name in the list, it replaces the placeholder [NAME] in the letter template with the actual name.
   • It creates a new text file for each recipient with the personalized letter.

3. Output:

   • Individualized letters are saved in the Output directory with filenames formatted as letter_for_[NAME].txt.

Usage

1. Prepare Input Files:

   • Ensure that Names_container.txt contains the list of names and Letter_container.txt contains the letter template with [NAME] as a placeholder.

2. Run the Script:

   • Execute the Python script main.py.

3. Generated Letters:

   • Personalized letters for each recipient will be created and saved in the Output directory.

Dependencies

• Python 3.x

Python File Handling( readlines(), strip(), replace() )

1. readlines()

The readlines() method reads all lines from the file and returns them as a list of strings.

with open("example.txt", "r") as file:
    lines = file.readlines()
    print(lines)

2. strip()

The strip() method removes leading and trailing whitespace (including newline characters) from a string.

line = "   Hi ! I am Himel   \n"
stripped_line = line.strip()
print(stripped_line)  # Output: "Hi ! I am Himel"

3. replace()

The replace() method replaces occurrences of a specified substring with another string.

text = "Hello, [NAME]! How are you, [NAME]?"
new_text = text.replace("[NAME]", "Himel")
print(new_text)  # Output: "Hello, Himel! How are you, Himel?"

Example: Reading a File, Stripping, and Replacing

# Read lines from a file, strip whitespace, and replace placeholders
with open("example.txt", "r") as file:
    lines = file.readlines()
    for line in lines:
        stripped_line = line.strip()  # Strip leading/trailing whitespace
        replaced_line = stripped_line.replace("[NAME]", "Himel")  # Replace placeholders
        print(replaced_line)

This example reads lines from a file, strips whitespace, and replaces placeholders ([NAME]) with a specific name ("Himel").
