This is what I've done so far but this only adds a line at the back

def modifyQty(dbfilename,modelname,size,newcount):
    o=open(dbfilename,'a')
    dbfilename=open(dbfilename,'r')#opendatafile for read and reassign
    for line in dbfilename:
        values=line.split(',')#split by comma
        if values[0]==modelname and values[1]==size:
            line=line.replace(values[2],newcount)
            o.write(line+'\n')
    o.close()

modifyQty('shoes.txt','Reebok 111','11','1')

I want to edit the first line, which is Reebok 111, 11, 2 into Reebok 111, 11, 1, looking for the matching model and size and changing only the quantity. so the desired output is:

Reebok 111, 11, 1

Thanks

Here is what I did and it creates a new text file for the edited version of the shoes.txt

def modifyQty(dbfilename,modelname,size,newcount):
    o = open(dbfilename, 'r')
    new_file = open('shoestextcopy.txt', 'w') #opens lol file
    data = o.readlines()
    for line in data:
        values = line.split(',') # split by comma
        if values[0] == modelname and values[1] == size:
            line = line.replace(values[2], newcount)
        new_file.write(line)
    o.close()
    new_file.close()
modifyQty('shoes.txt','Reebok 111','11','100000000 \n')

Thanks for all the help

Answer 1

I'll suggest open a new file for writing:

def modifyQty(dbfilename,modelname,size,newcount):
    o = open(dbfilename, 'r')
    new_file = open('abc.txt', 'w')
    data = o.readlines()
    for line in data:
        values = line.split().split(',') # split by comma
        if values[0] == modelname and values[1] == size:
            line = line.replace(values[2], newcount)
        new_file.write(line + '\n')
    o.close()
    new_file.close()

modifyQty('shoes.txt','Reebok 111','11','1')
