Hi All
I'm getting very odd behaviour when using file.write(variable) - what happens is that if I print out the variable using the print function I get this: 4CE1FFC64101843801
... which is what I expect. However, when I try to write this to a file (using the variable 'valid' to write to object 'stamps') I get this:
stamps.write(valid)
4CE1FFC6410184381
This string above is what is written into the 'stamps' file.
The strange thing is that when it writes it basically removes the penultimate 0 and I can't figure out why. It should be noted that 'valid' is already converted to a string, i.e.:
valid = str("4CE1FFC64101843801")
.
Any ideas anyone?
TIA, Simplified
