Question

essentially I need to generate a file with 10 rows.

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

This of course doesn't work.
I need it to write value of x into file, but whichever way I try doing it ((x),('x'),("x")) the result is not what I need.

Answer 1

what gets written to your file?

Answer 2

just want a file with 1000000 rows, with numbers from 1 - 1000000 in each row.
like this:
1
2
3
4
...
1000000

Answer 3

Do you mean like this mate: http://codepad.org/Tgcju5iA . I will attach my .txt file from running this code.

Answer 4

how about:
fout.writelines([str(x) for x in xrange(1, 1000001)])

Answer 5

bmp:
What does your if loop do there ? not sure about the os.path.isdir part
if os.path.isdir("null.txt"):
continue
fname.write(str(x)+"\n")

Answer 7

This was the template for a similar program and that if is a leftover. It was just to check whether or not the file is in the correct path, instead of raising an error.
