How to rewrite a file in python
Question:
I’m trying to write the best lap of a slot car race to a file so that it will be kept forever. This however, isn’t working. Not sure what I’m doing wrong but it should change the txt file but nothing seems to work.
The code doesn’t remove anything from the txt or rewrites anything inthe txt.
Part of the code with the file rewriting:
if int(self.firstline) < int(self.best[self.i-1]):
print('donig')
file = open("AbsBest.txt", 'a')
file.truncate(0)
file.write(str(self.best[self.i-1]))
file.close()
and here is the whole code:

To overwrite the file, use the 'w' mode instead of 'a'. 'a' will append to the end of the file instead of treating it like a new file. Like this:
if int(self.firstline) < int(self.best[self.i-1]):
print('donig')
file = open("AbsBest.txt", 'w')
file.write(str(self.best[self.i-1]))
file.close()
I believe that you do not also need file.truncate(0) if you use the 'w' mode.
I’m trying to write the best lap of a slot car race to a file so that it will be kept forever. This however, isn’t working. Not sure what I’m doing wrong but it should change the txt file but nothing seems to work.
The code doesn’t remove anything from the txt or rewrites anything inthe txt.

file.close()

To overwrite the file, use the 'w' mode instead of 'a'. 'a' will append to the end of the file instead of treating it like a new file. Like this:
if int(self.firstline) < int(self.best[self.i-1]):
print('donig')
file = open("AbsBest.txt", 'w')
file.write(str(self.best[self.i-1]))
file.close()
I believe that you do not also need file.truncate(0) if you use the 'w' mode.
