Hi everyone
I have been trying to combine the data from two seperate text files into a new text file. The code works OK and no errors are produced, but at the join between the two files, a few lines of data are left out. The same happens at the end of the last file input too. Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this please?
I have attached my code
a = r'C:\Documents and Settings\Matt\Desktop\Hourly Rainfall Data\organised_data\25514_1990.txt'
b = r'C:\Documents and Settings\Matt\Desktop\Hourly Rainfall Data\organised_data\25514_1991.txt'
destination = r'C:\Documents and Settings\Matt\Desktop\Hourly Rainfall Data\organised_data\test_merge\25514.txt'
open_destination_write = open(destination, 'w')
open_destination_append = open(destination, 'a')
print open_destination_write
print open_destination_append
for line in open(a).read():
open_destination_write.write(line)
open_destination_write.close
for line in open(b).read():
open_destination_append.write(line)
open_destination_write.close
Cheers, Matt
