I have a existing file /tmp/ps/snaps.txt It has following data:
key=default_value
I want the contents of this file to be:
key=default_value,value,value.....valuen
My code for this is (This runs everytime the main python code runs):
with open("/tmp/ps/snaps.txt", "a+") as text_file:
text_file.write("value")
But the output I get is :
key=default_value,
value,value.....value
Basically I dont want my values written on the next line, Is there any solution for this ?
The line-terminator at the end of the original file is preventing you from appending on the same line.
You have 3 options:
remove that line terminator: your code will work as-is
open file in append mode as you do, seek back past the linefeed, and write from there (putting a linefeed for the next time or last char(s) will be overwritten:
code:
with open(filename, "a+") as text_file:
text_file.seek(os.path.getsize(filename)-len(os.linesep))
text_file.write("{},\n".format(snapshot_name))
str.rstrip()
) and write the contents + the extra contents. The stablest option if you can afford the memory+read overhead for the existing contents. code:
with open(filename,"r") as text_file:
contents = text_file.read().rstrip()
with open(filename,"w") as text_file:
text_file.write(contents)
text_file.write("{},".format(snapshot_name))
option 2 is a hack because it tries to edit a text file in read/write, not very good, but demonstrates that it can be done.
