Append data to file in Python

fob=open('data1.txt','a')
fob.write("\nthis is  2nd line of text added")

fob=open('data1.txt','a')
fob.write("\nthis is  2nd line of text added")
## Writting at the end  of file is over , now read
fob=open('data1.txt','r')
print(fob.read())
fob.close()

this is first line of text
this is  2nd line of text added

Error Handling with Append

Use try-except to safely handle potential file errors:

try:
    fob = open('data1.txt', 'a')
    fob.write("\nNew line added.")
except IOError:
    print("Error opening file.")
finally:
    fob.close()

Appending Multiple Lines

Write multiple lines of text in append mode:

with open('data1.txt', 'a') as fob:
    fob.write("\nLine 1\nLine 2")

Use Case: Logging to a File

Appending logs for each program run:

with open('log.txt', 'a') as log_file:
    log_file.write("Program executed successfully.\n")
