To open a file for writing, the syntax is as follows:

sFile = 'C:\myFile.txt' oFile = file(sFile, 'w')

See the documentation on the built-in funtion "file" for more information: http://docs.python.org/lib/built-in-funcs.html#built-in-funcs

Hello,

I wish to do an iteration that will write something on each new

line in a text file. Something like this:

sFile = 'C:\\myFile.txt'
oFile = file( sFile, 'rw' )

for oLine in range(1,10):
    oFile.write( 'text' )


However when I run this I get an IO error for the oFile.write()

line.

Any suggestion?
Thanks
Bernard
