Hello,

I am sending whatsapp message through python. Below is the code.

import pywhatkit
pywhatkit.sendwhats_image("E9wnucCUpBpD1aizIUyLv6", "E:\\PythonFiles\\Music.jpg", "footer.txt", 10)
pywhatkit.sendwhatmsg_to_group("E9wnucCUpBpD1aizIUyLv6", "Test", 13, 3, 15, True, 5)

But i want to send a paragraph of message which is typed and saved in the same directory in text file.
How can i code to take message from the text file.

Thanks for the big help.

regards,
ebin

If pywhatkit don't take a file object you can do it like this.

import pywhatkit

with open("footer.txt") as f:
    pywhatkit.sendwhats_image("E9wnucCUpBpD1aizIUyLv6", "E:\\PythonFiles\\Music.jpg", f.read(), 10)
    pywhatkit.sendwhatmsg_to_group("E9wnucCUpBpD1aizIUyLv6", "Test", 13, 3, 15, True, 5)

But i get error like this

Error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

    with open("footer.txt") as f:

You most have footer.txt in same folder as main.py.
Or give path to where you have footer.txt.

with open(r"C:\somefolder\footer.txt") as f:

Below is the error i am receiving. I guess there should be string explained inside the bracket in f.read().

    pywhatkit.sendwhatmsg_to_group("E9wnucCUpBpD1aizIUyLv6", f.read(), 15, 2)

Windows is messing up choosing wrong encoding.
Do this:

with open("footer.txt", encoding='utf-8') as f:

Error:

the above error comes for indented block after with statement.

Yes,Python need indentation 🧐

import pywhatkit

with open("footer.txt", encoding='utf-8') as f:
    pywhatkit.sendwhats_image("E9wnucCUpBpD1aizIUyLv6", "E:\\PythonFiles\\Music.jpg", f.read(), 10)
    pywhatkit.sendwhatmsg_to_group("E9wnucCUpBpD1aizIUyLv6", "Test", 13, 3, 15, True, 5)

Its working Perfectly. Thank you.

However it works only when there English texts. I need to insert some symbols like below and other languages texts. I hope the copy paste function works. Is that possible.
