First time I execute this program, the resulting file does not have anything in it besides a new line. But the second time I execute it, it writes to 'out.txt' correctly, but the new line from the first execution is still there. Why does it not work correctly the first time?
bhaarat = open('bhaarat.txt', 'r+')
bhaarat_read = bhaarat.read()
out = open('out.txt', 'r+')
out_read = out.read()
bhaarat_split = bhaarat_read.split()
for word in bhaarat_split:
if word.startswith('S') or word.startswith('H'):
out.write(word + "\n")
bhaarat.write('\n23. English\n')
print out_read
print bhaarat_read
bhaarat.close()
out.close()
This is a problem with Windows. The workaround ( see python mailing list ) is to use
f.seek(f.tell())
between calls to read()
and write()
on a file f
that was opened with one of the +
options.
Adapted to your problem you have to call bhaarat.seek(bhaarat.tell())
after first reading the file with bhaarat_read = bhaarat.read()
and before writing to it with bhaarat.write('\\n23. English\\n')
. The same for your out
.
In Python3 this problem is fixed, so one more reason to switch :)
EDIT The following code works for me. The files bhaarat.txt
and out.txt
must both be present.
bhaarat = open('bhaarat.txt', 'r+')
bhaarat_read = bhaarat.read()
bhaarat.seek(bhaarat.tell())
out = open('out.txt', 'r+')
out_read = out.read()
out.seek(out.tell())
bhaarat_split = bhaarat_read.split()
for word in bhaarat_split:
if word.startswith('S') or word.startswith('H'):
out.write(word + "\n")
bhaarat.write('\n23. English\n')
print out_read
print bhaarat_read
bhaarat.close()
out.close()
