SORRY I THINK I ADDED THIS TO SOMEONE ESLE THREAD B4
Ok so i have a file which i read in ... then i read the data line by line and create lists

basically i needed to organsise(sort the data, in numerical order which i can do no problem and when i do the print statement it all works... no how can i write this sorted data into a new file?

when i do i get loads of lines into my new with the final line having all my data in the sorted order??? its because i need to carry out further functions on the sorted data ..

any suggestions????

i can mail my codes if anyone can help( im trying to so the excel sort function to my data if that makes sense?)

thanks xx

sorry ok basically i have an open a file and i have read the lines

my file looks like this

4 267 156 0.999 0.1 1
1 236 2366 0.999 0.1 1
1 235 2365 0.999 0.1 1..... and so on

so i wish the data to be sorted in order which i have done and when i print it it looks as follow
1 235 2365 0.999 0.1 1.
1 236 2366 0.999 0.1 1
4 267 156 0.999 0.1 1.........

i did this using the sort function and did print sort_output
however when i try to write sort_outpt i get the following in a new file

[4 267 156 0.999 0.1 1]
[1 236 2366 0.999 0.1 1],[4 267 156 0.999 0.1 1]
[1 235 2365 0.999 0.1 1],[1 236 2366 0.999 0.1 1],[4 267 156 0.999 0.1 1].....

and so on until the last line is my fully sorted data... what am i doing wrong?

i would just like one line to be writen to my new output file

just this one? [1 235 2365 0.999 0.1 1],[1 236 2366 0.999 0.1 1],[4 267 156 0.999 0.1 1]....(more list in numerical order)

uuffff i feel so silly i just need to put in a for loop... problem and drama over with

[woooee]

and so on until the last line is my fully sorted data

No way to tell without any code. For example, what is "sort_ouput"? It appears to be a function, but then it would be "sort_output()". It also appears that you are printing the record and then adding it to the existing records, then writing the corrupted data to a file. You can either write at the same spot you print, and use the same data, or post some code so someone can help with it.
