Replacing Text in another file with a separate program

Question

I have two files:

text

and

program.py

I insert text into my

text

file using the line:

inp=input('Text by the user')
with open("text.py", "a") as myfile:
   myfile.write(inp)

How can i make the program delete the line in text having it say:

text2

not

text1 text2

when run two times?

Answer 1

Open in write mode (w) instead of append mode (a). This blanks the file before writing to it.

inp=input('Text by the user')
with open("text.py", "w") as myfile:
   myfile.write(inp)
