Re: Adress book

oh right ok, thanks, however for the replacement problem, could you just use a unique decision?

Don't quite understand what you mean with 'unique decision', can you give an example?

Re: Adress book

well the simplest version for unique is to use a set where you would incorporate both of them in a set making sure the new information is first like:

python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
mydata = ['hello', 'test', 'change']
mynewdata = ['hello', 'test', 'change']
myset = set(mynewdata, mydata)
mydata = ['hello', 'test', 'change']
mynewdata = ['hello', 'test', 'change']
myset = set(mynewdata, mydata)

although having thought of that it would be better to use

python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
file = open('filename', 'r+')
file = open('filename', 'r+')

so that you will overwrite it, but you can still read it
