find location of wanted string in file and append new string below

[omsplend]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to append line to existing python file but I'm having issues finding the commands I need to do so.

I want my program to:

Open the python file, read it to text, search for the string 'enter sizes below' and then append my string in a new line.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find the right command that will allow me to set the file position right after the word 'below' and then append.

I'm attaching the python code as well.

Thanks!

You can't do that directly in the file (unless it ends with the searched for file), so what you need to do it:

Read all of the file as string

Search for your text and cut the string at this point to part 1 and part 2

Build a new string with Part 1 + your insert + part 2

Write this new string to file.

Well, there it is... I never thought I'd see the day when text-based code would be presented as a picture... 😄
