Hi,
I have a problem when I try to create a basic .txt file in sublime text. The basic code is below. The text file never shows up in the directory where my python file is. I should note that I am able to create this .txt file in other IDE (such as IDLE), so this issue seems to be with Sublime Text. I’m new to Sublime so I don’t know why this happens.
f = open('test1.txt', 'w')
f.write('test text')
f.close()Are you getting some form of error when you do it? If yes, you may be running into a permission problem. If no, are you looking in the right place for the created files?
I’m not getting any error message. The files just don’t show up in the directory I’m in. I’ve also checked the directory where Sublime was installed via Appdata\Roaming
The files will be placed in the current working directory that you tell the build to run in, which is the working_dir key in the sublime-build file. If you didn’t specify that, the default is the location where the file being built is stored.
Thanks for the help. It seems like I was in the correct directory. The real issue was that I was running the python file via command prompt and that did not create the file. However, running the python file via “build” (ctrl + B) in the program did create the file. It’s been resolved, thanks again.
man i was having the same exact issue. i was saving my python file after writing
filename = ‘programming.txt’
with open(filename, ‘w’) as file_object:
file_object.write(“I love daddy programming”)
and it would not produce a new .txt file, it was only when i BUILT the file then saved it did the txt file come up. i was stumped for a good hour. frustrating times lol
Which is natural. Saving a file doesn’t run the code. You need to of course run the program to make it do what you defined it to do
