Got the answer to this. Instead of opening the file in write mode we have to open it in append ("a") mode. with open("text.txt","a") as file: file.write("new text") print(file.read() The above code will add (new text) to the file (text.txt) at the end of the file without deleting its contents and print the contents of the files. For example, let's assume that earlier the file contained (old text). The output of the code will be: old text new text Correct me if I am wrong! :) Thanks, Omair Ahmed, Currently learning Python at: SoloLearn
