Well i decided to switch to a .txt file because it is easier for me to
lay eyes on it and the commas are there if i want to import it into
librecalc or sas or whatever. and values were writing in an acceptable
order becuase, while the order was not of my choosing, the order was
always the same. so that is fine for importing into another program for
later inspection.
What you said about the 'save as' is right, i didnt know how to go about
copying the logfile.txt (as I had it) to the file the user opened.
thats why i decided to try an array like this:
# openfile defined to start FileDialog and write the traffic log to the
file
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)
with open(mypath, "a") as f:
f.writelines(self.log_array)
I name the array up in the initializer
self.log_array = []
and this is supposed to get the the values out of the pickle and into
the textcrls and into the array:
# Update the field values
# put values in array
def update(self, field_values):
next_line = ""
next_line += strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
next_line += ','.join( field_values[k] for k in
self.fields.keys() if k in field_values )
log_array.append(next_line)
#if the field 'duid' == 'hdu', then clear all the fields
if field_values['duid'] == 'hdu':
self.clear()
#loop through all TextCtrl fields storing the key/value pairs in
k, v
for k,v in self.fields.items():
# get the pickle value for this TextCtrl
f = field_values.get(k, None)
# if the value is empty then set the new value
if f:
v.SetValue(f)
But the program is not working, meaning the TextCtrl fields are not
getting their values and the log is not being written. I dont know if I
am missing a self.something or I some indentation wrong that doest throw
the error or what. Very Stuck.
