Hi All,
I have a list containing 108 filenames. I want to open each file and
write it to an output file, appending it to the previous write. I use
the code below. Everything appears to work fine until I reach file
107. Only part of the file is written, and file 108 is not written at
all. The program runs to completion (I get exit code 0). I debugged
the problem and found that readlines() is reading all of file 107's
contents but that writelines() is not writing all of file 107's
contents. There are no strange characters where the write stops.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Lance
-
fileobjectw = open(COMPILETRACEDIR + '\\IncludeCode.prg', 'w')
for line in listext:
line = string.strip(line)
fileobjectr = open(line, 'r')
sa = fileobjectr.readlines()
fileobjectr.close()
fileobjectw.writelines(sa)
fileobjectw.close()
Sounds like maybe you should just do a binary read - write.
like,
outputfile = file(os.path.join(COMPILETRACEDIR,'IncludeCode.prg'),'wb')
tmp = file('filenames.txt','r')
filenames = [a.strip() for a in tmp.readlines()]
tmp.close()
for filename in filenames:
inputfile = file(filename,'rb')
outputfile.write(inputfile.read())
inputfile.close()
outputfile.close()
I think that should work.
I don't have the files you're running this all on, though.
It might help if you gave us the text of a successful file and of 107.
HTH,
