I have made a code which asks the users name and age. It asks age and stores it using :
name = input("")
And the name uses the same. I have outputted the age to file like so:
f = open('UserDetails')
f.write (name)
f.write (age)
f.close ()
I would like to be able to format this as in the file it just appears like:
James42Brian20Charlie56
I would like to make it be like :
James 42
Brian 20
Charlie 56
How would I do this?
Use string.format with a newline character like so:
f = open('UserDetails', 'a')
f.write("{0} {1}\n".format(name, age))
f.close()
'a' flag so you can append your newly-written lines, or possibly with the 'w' flag if you want to overwrite previously-written ones.f = open('UserDetails','a')
name = input("Name? ")
f.write ("{} ".format(name))
age = input("Age? ")
f.write ("{}\n".format(age))
f.close ()
I would do something like this
You can put a while loop where needed
OR
You can run it multiple times if you wish to add another person
I haven't tested this, but did you try something like this?
separator = ' '
f = open('UserDetails')
f.write (name + separator)
f.write (str(age) + separator)
f.close ()
It might not show exactly how you want it, but the idea is to use string concatenation and see if that works (including the new line symbol '\n'').
That said, without seeing the actual code you've written, it's hard to say much else.
The with open as syntax is preferred over needing to manually close a file, and this will loop until you kill the script.
with open("UserDetails", "a") as f:
while True:
name = input("name: ")
age = int(input("age: "))
f.write("{0} {1}\n".format(name, age))
name = input("")
age = input("")
f = open('UserDetails','a')
f.write ("{0} {1}\n".format(name, age))
f.close()
code.
