It was a syntax error. But sure, thanks.

The problem has been rectified, I used the r as suggested by Mark.

I've now been able to get the file created and write the code in the file, thanks for everyones replies.

So, you reply to my advisory on how to report your problem by saying 
that your original post said what did happen. Your original post said:

"the code runs and hangs on the create file, and once i press Enter it 
then finishes and creates the file"

But it turns out that "It was a syntax error".

If it was a syntax error, them how did the code run and "hang on the 
create file"?

Don't try to sweep my suggestion (that you should describe your symptoms 
properly) under the carpet. It's a very important lesson to learn for 
people trying to report bugs/issues.

I think you've misunderstood chap

My initial issue didn't have a syntax error, it just hung in the code until I pressed Enter/Return.

I then tried Bartc's solution when I changed my code, which I then replied "it doesn't work", which as you pointed out was unhelpful.

You now seem to be on some sort of rampage as I've already recognised that it was short, and said I got a syntax error upon attempting the new code that Bartc provided. I then said thanks to you for pointing it out, if you want to call that sweeping it under the carpet, then so be it, but the issue was resolved.

That's really the end of the matter, whether you're fishing for some sort of recognition or brownie points I don't know, but try relaxing and taking a step back; the issue is resolved, I'm moving on with the program, I appreciate the replies from everyone (including you) so chill.

You've mis-interpreted Erik's attempts to help. Somehow the requests for
details have made you defensive; I'm not sure why. Erik certainly was
not being hostile to you.

Hopefully you can take a more dispassionate position when you ask the
volunteers here for help next time.

I might be overlooking something, but raw_input (Python 2) and input
(Python 3) won't return the input from sys.stdin until you type ENTER. Or
did I misunderstand the question?

BartC is renowned for knowing nothing about Python by his own 
admittance, and would you please not top post on the list.

Hey Bartc

I don't quite understand what you mean?

The file is just supposed to be created, I don't want to have to press "Enter" or "Return" for it to complete the file creation

the info i followed to create the file advised I had to add the file name and extension on after like in the code

There is no point asking BartC about Python as he has repeatedly stated 
that he knows nothing about Python.  OTOH there are loads of people here 
who do know Python, backwards, sideways and inside out.  If you state 
precisely what you are trying to achieve then you will get the correct 
answer.

Hi Mark

Basically I want the program to do the search, which it does fine, then create the batch file then close.

What I will be doing once thats fixed is then adding a write to the batch file some lines of code, which im already testing and seems to work fine, its just the having to press enter to create the file and then close the program
