Please try: logfile=file(r'test.txt','w+') logfile.write('datetime') Check the contents of test.txt, you will get what ever was required... Now Run: logfile=file(r'test.txt','w+') logfile.write('datetime') logfile.readlines() and check the contents of test.txt??? My doubt is that logfile.write('datetime') will write datetime that is universaly accepted but why all that junk is appending to that when I add logfile.readlines() Strange or Am I on drugs??? :o) Please Comment...
