I notice that this is a study drill from the book "Learn Python The Hard Way". Though you've asked this question 3 years ago, I'm posting this for new users to say that don't ask in stackoverflow directly. At least read the documentation before asking.

And as far as the question is concerned, using writelines is the easiest way.

Use it like this:

target.writelines([line1, line2, line3])

And as alkid said, you messed with the brackets, just follow what he said.

Assuming you don t want a space at each new line use   print  I m going to write these to the file   target write   s n s n s n     line1  line2  line3     This works for version 3 6

It can be done like this as well   target write line1     n    line2     n    line3     n

this also works   target write        n         n         n  format line1  line2  line3

You re confusing the braces  Do it like this   target write   s  n  s  n  s  n     line1  line2  line3     Or even better  use writelines   target writelines  line1  line2  line3

variable 10 f open  fileName txt   w      file name and mode for x in range 0 10       f writelines  your text       f writelines  if you want to add variable data  str variable         to add data you only add String data so you want to type cast variable       f writelines   n

another way which  at least to me  seems more intuitive   target write    line 1 line 2 line 3

with open  target txt   w   as out      line1   raw input  line 1         line2   raw input  line 2         line3   raw input  line 3         print  I m going to write these to the file        out write     n   n   n  format line1 line2 line3
