Tq but i m curious about another thing. Suppose we have an output already in tkinter window when we run a code so i want exactly same that is in tkinter window to download as a file instead of taking input from user and saving as a gile

[@bibashshrestha9471]

Is there a way?

[@thesebas3090]

[@johnsonmcdonald292]

Appreciate this. Thanks a lot!

[@KevinIsAMilitaryGenius]

mine keeps saying AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'write' even though my code is exactly like this:file.write(filetext), and this is the line that it has problems with also when i tried to open the saved files on notpad it didnt recognize them and wanted me to create a new file, even though with the file we saved was asociated with the html property, i even made sure to see the properties segment to be sure it was html

[@flxshaep632]

i get this wierd thing. on filetext = str(text.get(1.0,END)) it says "function" object has no attribute "get" i have no idead what i did wrong i even copied ur line of text but still the same disgusting ass problem P.S i get this error when i close out of the save tab P.S again. I also get the same thing on text.write

[@sanketgunjal6079]

I'm developing a tool in my job and this tutorial helped me a LOOOOT. Thank you!

[@solomonwiredu]

I'm developing a finance app to do some pretty calculations but I don't know how to save my results which is in a tkinter window as a pdf

[@joshtornquist1937]

hey bro, can you give me some advice? My program (1) fetches files from a website and (2) saves it to a folder on the user's computer. The problem is that within the code the user would have to copy down the directory path each time. I'm trying to find a way to (1) open the dialog box and (2) allow the user to choose where those files--the files the program will fetch--will be saved to, and then (3) let the program save the files to the newly chosen file location. Thank you! Also sorry if this isn't well explained. New to coding.

[@BroCodez]

sorry I'm not sure I understand. Do you mean such as having a default file location set up to read/write files to?

[@joshtornquist1937]

​@@BroCodez Sort of. Again, pretty new to coding so I apologize. Let me try again . . . So right now, in my code, in order for some scraped files to be stored, I have to copy and paste the directory: edgar.download_index( *'/Users/josht/Desktop/EDGAR'* , 2018,skip_all_present_except_last=False) I'm trying to utilize the file dialog so that someone using this program can choose where to have those scraped files saved. In turn, this would automatically paste the directory chosen by the user in that line of code shown above. The result: _Open File Dialog > Choose Location > File Path Pasted Into Code > Code Continues_ I hope that's a little bit better explained than before. Thanks bro!

[@BroCodez]

I see, this might work: after using file dialog, you could get the file location with file.name to return the file path, or even store it in a separate string variable. #************************************* def saveFile(): file = filedialog.asksaveasfile() file_location = file.name #************************************* edgar.download_index( file_location, 2018,skip_all_present_except_last=False)

[@sidtheepic1103]

Rafy-Ivan Morales 0 seconds ago I'm a new student trying to learn, so I can become a programmer with python and I have a project on how to make a port scan. So far I already make a port scan with Python3, and it scans fine, give a date and everything working good so far. I see on your video tutorial you give example on how to send and receiving data. I would like to ask for your advice if you can and guide me on how I will add this 3 in a Python script, I have: 2. System should look for all the ports between the range of 1 to 1025 3. If the Ports is open, it should create a file and add an entry for port number 4. In case of any exception for instance “host is not available”, “host name could not be resolved” or due to any other error, you need to write that exception into the same file. Thank you and Merry Christmas.

[@Dani-zy6cf]

If you don't want to specify an specific file path for save the file, you can try this def saveFile(): file = filedialog.asksaveasfile(defaultextension='.txt',filetypes=[("Text file",".txt"),("HTML file", ".html"),("All files", ".*")]) if file is None: return filetext = str(text.get(1.0,END)) #filetext = input("Enter some text I guess: ") //use this if you want to use console window file.write(filetext) file.close()

if i embed a matplotlib graph can i save it as a .png file using this method instead of the matplotlib provided saving method?

[@phantomviper8297]

@Bro Code did you do something to prevent the 'file.write(filetext)' from returning an error "filetext is not defined' once you commented out the 'filetext = str(text.get(1.0,END)) ?
