I learnt that f.tell() returns an integer giving the file object’s current position in the file represented as number of bytes from the beginning of the file when in binary mode and an opaque number when in text mode. but here tell() is changing the output anyone know how?
with open(r"C:\Users\Harshit\Desktop\file15.txt","w+") as f:
a=f.read()
f.write("hello1")
f.write("hello2last")
f.seek(0,0)
f.write("HELLO3")
f.write("HELLO3")
print(f.read(1))
f.write("added")
f.seek(0,0)
f.write("55555")
print(a,type(a))
output:
555551hello2lastHELLO3HELLO3added
also using tell() before read(1) i.e print(f.tell(),f.read(1)) changes output to :
555553HELLO3lastadded
whereas in binary mode it gives the perfect output as expected
555553HELLO3ladded
why i m getting faulty outputs in text mode?
