Its been a while since I last coded in Python, so please make sure you test
it before trying it so you don't clobber your existing file. Although it may
not be more effecient than what you are doing now or has been suggested
already, it sure cuts down on the typing.
open(outfilename,'a').write(ope

Thanks for the nice suggestions!
As a side question, you mentioned opening files in binary mode, in case
the code needs to run under Windows or cross-platform. What would
happen otherwise? Is it an issue of big little endian or some other
issue?

What do you call huge? What you or I think of as huge is not necessarily
huge to your computer.

Hi,
I want to append one (huge) file to another (huge) file. The current
way I'm doing it is to do something like:
infile = open (infilename, 'r')
filestr = infile.read()
outfile = open(outfilename, 'a')
outfile.write(filestr)
I wonder if there is a more efficient way doing this?
Thanks.
