Please provide you input on the below questions:
For each new thread, you should specify at a minimum your Python version
and OS. it frequently matters, and it's better to specify than to have
everyone try to guess. I'll assume Python 2.7 and Linux.
(a) I was expecting the string i.e day of week , example Saturday to be
written in the file. what Iam I missing in the below program ?
Program:
#!/usr/bin/python
import time
f = open ('test_2.txt','w+b')
DAY = time.strftime("%A")
f.write(DAY)
f.close()
Throttling-1# cat test_2.txt
Not to belabor the obvious, but did you run the program? I'd add at
least one print to a minimal program to make sure you ran the same
program as you show, and you can also use that to inspect the contents
of variables.
Works for me on ubuntu Python 2.7
Incidentally, I'd avoid using w+b. Just use wb if you're creating a file.
(b) Iam trying to generate a file in the below format ,
cluster1# cat test_2.txt
Saturday 0:05 0:10
Saturday 0:10 0:20
Saturday 0:20 0:30
Saturday 0:40 0:50
Saturday 0:60 0:70
(a) what is the easiest way to generate the above file fprmat ?
(b) how will I take care that the below format is repeated in the .txt file
( i.e column and row spacing)
DAY OF THE WEEK [SPACE] START TIME [ SPACE] ENDTIME{SPACE]
(c) how do I add START TIME [ SPACE] ENDTIME{SPACE] columns
The use the str.format method.
line = "{} {} {}\n".format(day, start, end)
The curlies specify where the various arguments will be placed, and the
"\n" generates a newline at the end.
