Question

essentially I need to generate a file with n rows.

x = 0
y = 0
fout = open("store.txt", "w")
while x <= 10:
fout.write(x)
x = x + 1
fout.close()

This of course doesn't work.
It tells 'TypeError: expected a character buffer object'
and I cant figure out what it means.

Answer 1

what language is it?

Answer 2

python

Answer 3

idk

Answer 4

I made it work like this:

x = 0
y = 0
fout = open("store.txt", "w")
while x <= 10:
fout.write(str(x))
x = x + 1
fout.close()

It casts the integer to a string.

Answer 5

I'm not sure what you mean by a file with n rows though. Do you mean n lines? In that case, you can use "\n" to make a new line

Answer 6

Ok thank you.
I was missing the little conversion to string with str(x).
Cheers for help.
