guys,<BR>its a text file i am writing to and when i write the first time its fine, i get 3 lines of input collected from a user and written to my text file, however if i run the program again the next 3 lines begin at the end of the previous users details. It works fine but starts from where the pointer left off. i dont know how to solve this. where do i put the '\n'? to be honest the <STRONG>.join </STRONG>i dont understand but otherwise it prints as a list e.g. ('name','age','etc')<BR><STRONG>Adrian </STRONG><BR>
