Hello. The principle is clear only with images, but how to take a random file from a folder, send it to the user and then delete the same file from the folder?

Telegram bot, used by pyTelegramBotAPI (python) Thanks in advance

GitHub has great file transfer examples. For text files, the send_document method is send_document :

 # sendDocument doc = open('/tmp/file.txt', 'rb') tb.send_document(chat_id, doc) tb.send_document(chat_id, "FILEID")

Delete files using the standard os.remove () :

 os.remove('/tmp/file.txt')
  • Thank you, but it is unclear how to take a random file, and delete it after sending. - stow

In order to send a random file and delete it, all you need is to connect the library random, and use an approximately similar method:

 all_files_in_directory = os.listdir(directory) file = random.choice(all_files_in_directory) doc = open(directory + '/' + file, 'rb') bot.send_document(message.from_user.id, doc) os.remove(directory + '/' + file)
