f.write fails to record inputs










-2














Suppose such a text



In [134]: !cat test1.md 
The first test


I open it and write contents



In [156]: f1 = open("test1.md", "r+") 

In [157]: f1.write("The second test")
Out[157]: 15

In [158]: !cat test1.md
The first test
test second method


It works correctly until now, if continue to input



In [159]: f1.write("The third test") 
Out[159]: 14

In [160]: !cat test1.md
The first test
test second method


In [161]: f1.write("The fourth test")
Out[161]: 16

In [162]: !cat test1.md
The first test
test second method


What's the problem with f.write?.

You need to flush() the buffer then close() the file. Also maybe append your strings to the file.



f1 = open("test1.md", "a") # "a" means append to file 

f1.write("The second test")
f1.flush()
f1.close()


Thecat the file;



cat test1.md 

The first test
test second method



The Correcct way.



You should really be doing it like this;



with open("test1.md", "a") as f1:
f1.write("The second test")
f1.flush()
f1.close()
