how to write/overwrite data in a txt. file according to inp
#1
so im like, really new to python and i wanna do this thing where it asks for an input (ex. response = input("")) and i want to make it so that when the input is written, it writes the response into an already existing txt file.

is there awy to do that?

any help is appreciated!

Somethin like this,if take away loop it will write one line.
filename = "file.txt"
print("Enter lines to save. Type Q to quit.")
# Append to an existing text file (or create it doesn't exist)
with open(filename, "a", encoding="utf-8") as f:
    while True:
        line = input("> ")
        if line.strip().upper() == "Q":
            break
        f.write(line + "\n")
