The write command is python is not working

Question

I wrote something like this:

lines = [name]
with open('user/username.txt', 'w') as f:
    f.write(lines)

and it put nothing in the "user" folder.

Answer 1

As others have mentioned, you need to iterate over the list. Here's an example.

lines = ["John Smith", "Jane Doe"]
with open('user/username.txt', 'w') as f:
    for line in lines:
      # If the strings don't contain end of line you might want to insert one like here
      f.write(line + "\n")
