"Lie Ryan" wrote with open(...) as fobj: entry = '' while entry != '.' fobj.write(raw_input()) But how does entry change in this example? I think you need with open(...) as fobj: entry = '' while entry != '.' fobj.write(entry) entry = raw_input()

Re: [Tutor] Append mode dilemma

Your problem is on this line: fobj.write('\n'.join(all)) This puts a newline in between each line in "all", but not at the end. The fix is simple: fobj.write('\n'.join(all) + '\n') This will make sure that the last line has a newline at the end of it, so that when you later append data, it will
