To whom this may concern,
Below is the source code, which
demonstrates a
problem I am having making a GUI for my python project work.
'table.txt'
is a file that is read from the same folder.
My code writes to a text file 'table.txt', and 'table.txt' is displayed
in
the GUI. The user can generate new data at the click of a button
which re-writes 'table.txt', but I can only add the new table to the
GUI
window rather than 'update' the existing one.
Any assistance would be much appreciated,
Regards,
Christian Wood.
