Hi Subhabrata,

You can use open(name, 'w'), which creates the file if the file does not
exist, but it will truncate the existing file. Alternatively, you can use
open(name, 'a'); this will create the file if the file does not exist, but
will not truncate the existing file.

Ref.: open() <https://docs.python.org/2/library/functions.html#open>

Regards,
Shubham

Dear Group,<br>
<br>
I am trying to write a file, which would create a new file name<br>
as the code runs.<br>
<br>
The code (a basic crawler) would run every morning<br>
or evening, on a predefined time. [This part is fine].<br>
<br>
In the next part, I am trying to store the daily<br>
results to a new file.<br>
<br>
As I researched I found some tips around time module,<br>
logging module, pythoncom etc. But not getting any important<br>
lead.<br>
<br>
If any one of the esteemed members may kindly suggest.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Subhabrata Banerjee.<br>
