Getting txt files onto iPad
-
Brand new to Python and just discovered pythonista. I've been using IDLE on my MacBook. I want to load some txt files (word lists) onto my iPad and can't figure out how to do it. Can anybody help a newbie out?
-
The easiest way would be to use DiskAid (the free version is good enough for this).

Thank you. I'll check it out.
BTW this specific word list was available on the web, so I learned a little about urllib2 and how to write a file. I'm absolutely loving how easy it is to use Pythonista!

Rothrock42 I made a little wifi transfer utility. It's a few posts down.

You can also use iTunes to transfer files, plug in your device, go to its Apps tab, and below the home screen display you'll find a menu to transfer files. You can also email the file to yourself and open the attachment in Pythonista, or of course use some script (or the interactive prompt) to download the file from the internet.

There is always email as well.

I use DropBox.
You can send a file directly from DropBox to Pythonista, and it will show up in the "Inbox" in Pythonista.
