OK, So show us the program! Otherwise we are just guessing.
Python Shell, it does the same thing. I open it in read mode and assign
to a variable like so:
scoresFile=open('highScores.txt','r')
But whenever I try to say read from it:
scoresFile.read()
It comes up with a blank string:
' '
How do you get a blank string?
Calling read() without assigning it to a variable means the content of
your file will be lost. But then what are you looking at to say its a
blank string?
We need to see the actual code you are running not just random fragments.
Can anyone help me?
Sure, but you've got to help us first. Show us your code.
And if you get an error message show us that too - all of it.
And for good measure tell us the Python version and the OS.
