Question

I am working on MODO scripts in python.I created my script as follow:

#python

import lx
import sys

layers = lx.evalN("query layerservice layers ? all")
oFile   = open('myfile.txt','w')

for layer in layers:

     lx.out('Hello World!')


     layerName = lx.eval1("query layerservice layer.name ? %s"%layer)
     lx.out("Layer Name : %s" %layerName)

     and so on.....

when i run this script in MODO,rest everything works fine for me.I wanted to create one text file at same time and perform write operation on it.but the code

oFile   = open('myfile.txt','w') 

do not create text file.So i cannot proceed further.
How do i create my file and perform write operation on it.???
Thanx in advance.

Answer 1

It sounds like you are creating the file in an unexpected location.

You can either pass a full path to the open call, or use os.chdir(...) to change the directory in which files will be opened.
