Python Forum

new to python 3 so bare with me lol
I can't for the life of me figure out whats going wrong.
the problem is when i use "set goal" it adds a blank line in the save file, so line 1 is a number line 2 is blank and 3 has a number.
nether "add miles" or "clear miles" has this problem and they all use the same "save" function.
other than that, everything else is working right.
P.S. I know my code is sloppy and there's a million better ways to do it. but I'm new :)

load=open('save.txt')

load.close()

rem = int(goal)-int(current)

def clear():
    global current
    current = 0
    cur.config(text= "Current Miles: " + str(current))
    left.config(text="Miles Remaining " + str(goal))

remove line 30
This is a double post which is against forum rules. Please don't do this in the future

I have line 30 in there because if i don't, it combines "goal" and "current" into one number on the same line.
sorry for the double post, i didn't know how to delete the first one.
as I mentioned, "add miles" and "clear miles" does NOT add the blank line, they all use the same "save" function so i don't know whats going on.

for me it works (have changed path for Test)

also changed some geometry

I have no idea why its not working for me.
I used the code you edited(changed the path back) and it still does the same thing. I'm so confused.
also im using windows 10, ive tried IDLE pycharm and VSC they all do the same thing. :(

I am on Linux Mint. The text file has 2 lines.

cut the line

sav.write("\n")

if i cut that line, than add and clear dont work for me. combines them into one number on same line... i pulling my hair out! lol :)

you can try

    with open("save.txt", 'w', newline="") as sav:

Still does the same thing. I may have to go about writing a whole new save function and going about it differently, the is the second version of my save function. first one was importing the file at start up, worked fine, but when i compiled it, it wouldn't save to the file. no errors no crashes, just wouldn't update the save file. so i wrote the current one, which is give me my current head ache lol

i fixed it! still not sure why its doing that, but its working now. what i did was convert the int for the clear and add miles back to a str before return, added in a \n with that string. still don't know why they act differently using the same "save" function, but it works now.
set goal is returned as a int not a str, and works fine. idk :/ also i compiled it and everything is working still, so yay!
Thank you very much for your help! I'm sure I'll have a million more questions lol
