Hey,
I wrote some simple code to write data to a logfile and it works pretty
well (thanks guys). Now my problem is that every time i run the program
the old logfile.txt is overwritten. I need to be able to stop and start
the program without overwriting, or losing, the old data. here is the
relavent code:
# central part of the program
# lays out the GUI panel
# omitted lots for our purposes here
Class panel(wx.Panel):
# open a file named "logfile.txt" in "w" writing mode.
# this will create the file if it doesn't exist.
self.logfile = open('logfile.txt', 'w')
# Updates the TextCtrl field values
# and logs TextCtrl field values
def update(self, field_values):
#logger code---------------
#first write the CURRENT date/time
self.logfile.write('%s,'%(str(strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S",
gmtime()))))
# loop through each of the TextCtrl objects
for k,v in self.fields.items():
#get the value of the current TextCtrl field
f = field_values.get(k, None)
if f:
#output the value with trailing comma
self.logfile.write('%s,'%(str(f)))
self.logfile.write('\n')
#end logger code ----------------
In addition to not deleting the old data, it would be awesome to have
some sort of wxPython widget that would give the user the ability to
'save as', or name and save the file, from the GUI panel.
Thanks!
