[Tutor] Iterating writing in a file

[Christian Wyglendowski]

To open a file for writing, the syntax is as follows:

sFile = 'C:\\myFile.txt'
oFile = file(sFile, 'w')

See the documentation on the built-in funtion "file" for more
information:

	Subject: [Tutor] Iterating writing in a file
	
	
	Hello,
	
	I wish to do an iteration that will write something on each new
line in a
	text file. Something like this:
	
	
	sFile = 'C:\\myFile.txt'
	oFile = file( sFile, 'rw' )
	
	for oLine in range(1,10):
	    oFile.write( 'text' )
	
	
	
	However when I run this I get an IO error for the oFile.write()
line.
	
	
	Any suggestion?
	Thanks
	Bernard
