That's just what happens, what did you expect to happen? The same would be true id you saved a file from notepad, if you used an existing name notepad would overwrite the old file (albeit with a warning). Are you trying to add extra information to the end of an existing file? If so use the "a" mode when opening the file instead of "w". If the problem is accidentally typing inan existing name then you can use the os module to test whether the file exists before opening it and giving a warning if it does. But until we know more about what you are trying to do we can't really offer much more help. Also it helps if you show us the code - at lest the bit that opens the file. -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
