add new data to existing file

[streamwire 0]

hey, i´m new around here, so bare with me :-)

 

i just finished my first ever bot that collects urls from YT.

so how can i save the data to a file without erasing the old data inside the file?

 

everytime i use the "save to file" command, the old scraped data gets overwritten.

1) Read existing data into list 1.

 

2) Scrape new data into new list 2.

 

3) Add list 2 to list 1

 

4) Write list 1 back out.

 

So, effectively, you are adding the new URLs to the old URL's then writing the new collection back out, erasing the existing file but replacing it with the newer file with the old and new data combined.

To Willywonda and The Mentalist, thanks. I am trying to do something similar, in terms of adding content to a saved file.
