🔒 Cannot append more input - txt file!

[sudden flare]

I use PyCharm as my IDE. I try to append more and more information to my txt file, but it doesn't do anything. How to fix that? 🤔

seems to be a lot of hits on google about increasing pycharms txt file size limit..
i dont use pycharm so I cant suggest a absolute fix for your version

It does add stuff to the file, it's just that PyCharm cannot view it, as the info bar says

Use console to view your output, or some gui text editor that can handle big files

If on windows, do not use Notepad - it's really really bad for big files.
For sure Notepad++ will be able to handle it, I viewed (and even searched) files with tens millions of lines there

It actually ends from here 😕

[marsh ermine]

Before writing to file you can print len(valid_urls) and see if it matches number of lines
But without seeing full code, we can't help with anything else.

[sudden flare]

When printing out the length of valid_urls by print(len(valid_urls)) I get the same number of rows the text file has

[marsh ermine]

Then it's correct

If you expect more, then it's how you make valid_urls that needs fixing

[sudden flare]

Is it possible that with every execution of the program, the old file gets erased and on top of that, the new file will be created? If so, why does it happen when using a for append? 🤔

[marsh ermine]

Make sure you don't get any other opening with w anywhere in the code.

It would be easier if you showed us some code

[sudden flare]

I worked suddenly. I don't know what I changed 😲
