Reading text from file and attaching to link in selenium with python

Question

I am trying to read text lines from a file and attach them to the end of a link and perform few actions then read next line and repeat same procedure.

This is what I have so far and appreciate any and all help!

url = "https://www.instagram.com/"
f = open("names.txt")
text1 = [text.strip() for text in f.readlines()]
for text in text1:
    browser.get(url(text1))
    print(url)
f.close

error I am receiving -

'str' object is not callable

Answer 1

You need to concatenate the string first and then send it to browser.get()

Can you please check this code

url = "https://www.instagram.com/"
f = open("names.txt")
text1 = f.readlines()
for text in text1:
    driver.get('{}{}'.format(url, text.strip()))
    print('{}{}'.format(url, text.strip()))
f.close()

I believe your txt file contains some Instagram usernames. correct me if I am wrong.
