How to Write to a text .txt file in Python! Processing Lists, and Outputting Data!

This video discusses the method for writing data from python into a text file. This includes step by step instructions for accessing the file from the same folder as the python program, selecting what info you want to store in the file and writing it in. We then go one step further and take info stored in python list variables, modify it and create a text file output with the newly created data!

Do you by any chance have a video on appending information at the end of text files? I recall seeing one and want to rewatch it but don't remember on which channel.

Guys, for those who dont want to overwrite the old text with new text add a + '\n' to the and use 'a' instead of 'w' .write so it'll look something like this

file = open('file.txt', 'a')
file.write('some info', '\n')

how do you just check for the last number in the list and then continue the prgram from there? (numbers are 0, 1, 2, ...)

you explained things better than my lecturer. What about writing to a txt file with password attempts and time and date?

[kirillzakharov]

How would you alter that final code so that the file would be read from the middle to the end?

[jrnastyy]

After inputting it into the text file, is there a way to make a function to edit or update the grades only?

[ufuomaomo-enwefah]

Just tried running my code but it didn't work. I checked and made sure my syntax was correct but yet my text file still came out blank

[gachaytb]

Hey! your video was useful, but i have a little problem and you said it in the video, when i restart the code, the txt file is empty, hopefully you can fix this.

Write a program that reads all the contents from a file and prints the first, second and last line

[ronnieklaase]

How would you write your terminal output to text file?

[Spugler]

I copied everything you did exactly and nothing happens. No errors, the file doesn't open, and nothing gets written.

[adithyamadhu]

Is it possible to add text while running the program?? I mean can the user add text in file? Is there any way out?

[haziqkepli]
