Writing Files

[Lucas Raab]

What is the best way to go about writing to files?? Whenever I insert a
statement to write results to a file there's nothing in it. Any
suggestions??

TIA

Which statement did you try? Here's a one-liner that works:

file( 'mydata.txt', 'w' ).write( "the python sleeps tonight" )

Don't forget to close and/or flush your file....

There must be something wrong with the statement.

Always post example code and/or the exception traceback when asking such
a question.
