Could someone please show me a simple way of adding task numbers to my output text file. All I need is a simple way for every time a new task is added,the code should loop and add a new number to the description every time a new task is created. I need to also be able to access the task later in the code by entering the task number.
output to text file currently:
User assigned to task:
admin
Task Title:
jog
Task Description:
go jogging
Task Due Date:
2020-02-08
Date Assigned:
2020-02-07
Task Completed:
No
requested output:
User assigned to task 1:
admin
Task Title:
jog
Task Description:
go jogging
Task Due Date:
2020-02-08
Date Assigned:
2020-02-07
Task Completed:
No
My current code:
def add_task():
if menu == "a" or menu == "A":
with open( 'user.txt' ) as fin :
usernames = [i.split(',')[0] for i in fin.readlines() if len(i) > 3]
task = input ("Please enter the username of the person the task is assigned to.\n")
while task not in usernames :
task = input("Username not registered. Please enter a valid username.\n")
else:
task_title = input("Please enter the title of the task.\n")
task_description = input("Please enter the task description.\n")
task_due = input("Please input the due date of the task. (yyyy-mm-dd)\n")
date = datetime.date.today()
task_completed = False
if task_completed == False:
task_completed = "No"
else:
task_completed = ("Yes")
with open('tasks.txt', 'a') as task1:
task1.write("\nUser assigned to task:\n" + task + "\nTask Title :" + "\n" + task_title + "\n" + "Task Description:\n" + task_description + "\n" + "Task Due Date:\n" + task_due + "\n" + "Date Assigned:\n" + str(date) + "\n" + "Task Completed:\n" + task_completed + "\n")
print("The new assigned task has been saved")
add_task()
