class TrafficPane(wx.Panel): # Initializer # the class constructor def __init__(self, parent, msgq): wx.Panel.__init__(self, parent) self.msgq = msgq #create the array to put the traffic data in self.log_array = [] Then this is how the array gets into the file the user chooses: # openfile defined to start FileDialog def openFile(self, evt): with wx.FileDialog(self, "Choose a file", os.getcwd(), "", "*.txt*", wx.OPEN) as dlg: if dlg.ShowModal() == wx.ID_OK: path = dlg.GetPath() #mypath = os.path.basename(path) mypath = os.path.abspath(path) f = open(mypath, "rw+") f.writelines(self.log_array) And this is how i get the TextCtrl values into the array: def update(self, field_values): next_line = "" #logger code--------------- # first new line #self.logfile.write('\n') # date and time #self.logfile.write('%s,'%(str(strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S", localtime())))) next_line += (str(strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S", localtime()))) # 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))) next_line += (str(f) + ',') log_array.append(next_line) #end logger code---------- Its running right now. I haven't had the opportunity to test if it works so im keeping my fingers crossed. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
