Append to a text file

[barista 0]

Hi this is probably basic, but I scrape some data twice a week and save it to a text file. I use winautomation to append that data into another text file (which has all the previous data in it). Is this possible using Ubot?

 

Thanks

This has been asked before but I couldn't find it on a quick search. Anyway to append you can do something like this...

I'm not sure that one actually would work, but you would have to load in the .txt or csv into a list, add the new information and then save the combined list to the .txt again since it is overwriting every time

Yes I figured this would be the case.

thanks.

Will be great to have and additional parameter on 'save to file' where we can select to append or not data to a file.

Your solution will work, but it have very hard resource consuming, it is not practical to make a log file in a list (on memory).

Please don't take this as a complain, i love ubot tool, but the file append is a trivial operation even the most simple programming language, i guess it should be easy to implement.

Nice Andy! Absolutely Nice!

 

You know what I am working on so this fixes one of my final little details.

 

That's one notch off of the ToDo list!

That's a top tip. Going to make a minor addition by way of a new line so you get nicely formatted outputs

Works for me, except it's entering two of each entry.
