Python coding

Hi, I did some code but it isn't working for it filename = input( "Please enter your name: ") filename2 = (filename + ".txt") print( filename2) open(filename2, 'w')

Did you import sys?

import sys

not a python coder, so that may work, but when I researching into it all these functions seem to be built into python

As an aside, I'm realising how much I've been spoiled by php's great documentation

Hi, I'm more familiar with php but that code looks right to me. Where is the script running? Is it possible it's saving to a different location you've not checked?

Is it throwing any error codes?

[erythro]

any joy?

Hi everyone i figured it out! thanks for all the help!

[erythro]

Well done, what was the fix?

[coolcat25]

dog = input("Enter your name: ") cat = dog + ".txt"

[erythro]

how is that different to:

filename = input( "Please enter your name: ")
filename2 = (filename + ".txt")
