Hi,
How do I write a piece of text like this into a .txt file?:

my current code looks like this:

proxies = input('proxies: ')
with open('Proxies.txt', 'r+') as file:
    file.write(proxies)

my input for proxies will be that list i've shown above. But when I run this code it doesn't write anything down in the file. Does somebody know how to do this?

You're missing a comma on line 2 between "Proxies.txt" and "r+"

yeah found that out earlier on, but still doesnt work

Need loop to write that,add new line(\n) when write to file and way to quit.

with open('Proxies.txt', 'a') as f:
    while True:
        proxies = proxies = input('proxies,<q> to quit: ')
        if proxies == 'q':
            break
        else:
            print(proxies)
            f.write(f'{proxies}\n')

i want it to be able to write everything in once, not line by line

Can do that and can eg use white space as delimiter.

with open('Proxies.txt', 'a') as f:
    prox_text = ""
    proxies = input('proxies: ')
    prox_text += proxies
    prox_text = prox_text.split()
    f.write("\n".join(prox_text))

Test:

Output:
E:\div_code
λ python pro_all.py
proxies: Jan:Kees:Piet:klaas Jan:Kees:Piet:klaas Jan:Kees:Piet:klaas

E:\div_code
λ cat Proxies.txt
