You can use, '\n' with each value, that u are writing to the file.
eg. outstring = outstring + '\n'
\n stands for new line character.
I couldnt get the second question.
Regarding the third question, you can do this:
done = 0
fd = open(filename,'r')
while not done:
line = fd.readline()
if line == '':
done = 1
else:
for i in line:
dict[i] = int(dict[i]) + 1 # dict is a dictionary containing
numbers as the keys and initial value 0 for each key

Hi everybody,
I am new to python and trying to write a lottery program for a
schoolproject.
The program is supposed to draw the lottery any entered(user input) number
of times, then store the drawing results in a file. After drawings the
user
should see (if he wants to) how many times each of the possible numbers
was
picked by the computer and which were the six most succesful numbers.
These
data must be calculated from the data stored in the file!
This is what I've been able to come up with so far:
# Lottery chances.
# Programs ask how many times you want to have the lottery drawn by the
# computer. Then stores these draws and then shows the 6 numbers most
drawn
# by the computer.
# Importing for making the program nicer later on...
import os, sys
import time
import random
vDraws = input("How many times do you want to draw the lottery? :>")
# Draw lottery numbers & writing them to file
while vDraws > 0:
List_LotNumbers = random.sample(range(0,46), 6) #random numbers from
range into list
output_string = str(List_LotNumbers) #converting list to string to
store
it.
fout = open("draw__output.dat", "a")
fout.write(output_string) #writing string to file
fout.close()
vDraws = vDraws - 1
# Printing all numbers drawn
vView = raw_input("Do want to see the results? y/n :>")
if vView == "y" or vView == "Y":
fout = open("draw__output.dat", "r")
Print_list = fout.readline()
print Print_list
#end of program so far
My question is: how do I write the output of each lottery drawing on a
separate line
second question: how do i print the lottery drawings to the screen without
the brackets[]
third:can somebody point me in the right direction as to how do I make the
program read from the file and count how many times a number has been
drawn.
Any help or pointers would greatly be appreciated.
thanks,
Robert (forgive me my english, I am Dutch)
