I am having problems appending data to a binary file. When i seek()
to a location, then write()
at that location and then read the whole file, i find that the data was not written at the location that i wanted. Instead, i find it right after every other data/text.
My code
file = open('myfile.dat', 'wb')
file.write('This is a sample')
file.close()
file = open('myfile.dat', 'ab')
file.seek(5)
file.write(' text')
file.close()
file = open('myfile.dat', 'rb')
print file.read() # -> This is a sample text
You can see that the seek
does not work. How do i resolve this? are there other ways of achieving this?
Thanks
