Here is the latest version of the code:
currentdata_file = r"C:\Users\Owner\Desktop\newdata.txt" # the latest
download from the clock
lastdata_file = r"C:\Users\Owner\Desktop\mydata.txt" # the prior
download from the clock
output_file = r"C:\Users\Owner\Desktop\out.txt" # will hold delta
clock dat
The below code does the trick with one small problem left to be solved
import shutil
import string
currentdata_file = r"C:\Users\Owner\Desktop\newdata.txt" # the current
download from the clock
lastdata_file = r"C:\Users\Owner\Desktop\mydata.txt" # the prior
download from the clock
output_file =

newdata=op
Maybe something like this will work though I am not sure of my quotes
and what to import
import shutil
f = open(r'C:\Users\Owner\Desktop\mydata.txt', 'r')
read_data1 = f.read()
f.close()
shutil.copy('C:\Users\Owner\Desktop\newdata.txt', 'C:\Users\Owner
\Desktop\out.txt')
file = open(r'C:\Users\O

I have a txt file that gets appended with data over a time event. The
data comes from an RFID reader and is dumped to the file by the RFID
