Why this formatted string is not working?please help!

Question

I'm trying to use formatted string to send to file.write() to write in a file

content = "xxxxx"
file.write( %s % content)

Why it shows a syntax error? Could someone help me with this? Many thanks!

Answer 1

i am really new to this but, try file.write( content ) rather than that, it maybe doesnt want listing if there is only one element
