To read text files in pandas, you can use the same function, pd.read_csv(). However, to ensure the text file is read correctly, it's essential to use an additional parameter called sep, which stands for separator or delimiter in the text.

# Importing pandas library
import pandas as pd

# Reading a text file into a DataFrame
text_data = pd.read_csv('file.txt', sep='\r', header=None)

If your text file doesn't have a header row containing column names, set the header parameter to None. Doing so informs pandas not to treat the first row as column names.

Note

To use a new line as the separator in a file, which is common in text files, set sep='\r'. Here, '\r' stands for a carriage return, which is a special character used to indicate a new line.
