Unable to write % character to a file using writelines() method

[dudeja.rajat at gmail.com]

Hi,


I'm using the writelines() method to write some lines to a text file. But
I'm unable to write the % character to the file using the following format:

fdTolFile.writelines("\n\tdiff Not in %s '%' range" %(toleranceInPer))


The second % does not get write to the file and Im getting errors. Please
suggest what additional information should I give to write the % character.


The errro Im getting is :
 File "C:\Documents and
Settings\\TA-workspace\src\TestAndCompareResults.py", line 840, in
__parseDiffTextFile
    fdTolFile.writelines("\n\tdiff in %s'%' range" %(toleranceInPer))
TypeError: not enough arguments for format string


I've also tried this:

fdTolFile.writelines("\n\tdiff Not in %s \% range" %(toleranceInPer))

But still I get the same error


Thanks and regards,
Rajat
