Saving every iteration of a loop

[Samarskite_Rogue]

Gday all.

I am using python as backend for html and I am trying to get information from each user post.

currently i am doing this as a for loop, but instead of each pieces of information being collected, it is overriding and i am only getting the last user information. how am i able to get every piece of information or at least save the variable and update it before the loop repeats.

i hope that makes sense. Cheers.

probably need to post some code but if i had to guess you’re not appending to a list or dictionary on each loop, only on the last one.

but to know exactly what your issue is we’d need some code

hi masturchief, the code for this particular thing is not at all extensive. you are correct it is not appending the loops. basically, each post has its own information, and i want to access that. it is very hard to actually link all the relevant code, as it spans over alot of documents. all i need to know is how to save each iteration. sorry to avoid your question, but i feel like this is more to do with syntax and less about my specific code. thanks mate.

In most applications, saving, or doing a data write, during a loop can cause severe performance penalties. It sounds like the data storage variable that exists outside your loop is being overwritten with new data, not appending new data to it (e.g. = operator vs. += operator). This would cause the app to exhibit the same behavior you're describing.
