Here I think you want
   ag = ag.split(';')
split() does not split the string in place, it returns a new list with 
the split elements.

Also you are opening the file for writing (which will erase the 
contents) before you read it.

Other than that your code looks OK. You might want to try writing it 
without functions, I think they may be confusing you a bit and they are 
not really needed here.
