I have two lists named itemIds and itemRap, both containing exactly 1,890 items inside. My goal is to unload these lists into separate notepads. Here is the code segment:
#unloading itemIds and itemRap lists into files
x = 0
for x in range(len(itemIds)):
itemId = (str(itemIds[x])+"\n" )
itemPrice = (str(itemRap[x])+"\n" )
itemIdFile.write(itemId)
itemRapFile.write(itemPrice)
x = x + 1
Whenever I run this segment, not all of the items in the lists end up in the notepads- they both are missing 300-400 items. Is python incapable of adding items to a notepad this fast? What is going on? Are there any potential solutions?
Here's my full code if you want to try it out for yourself:
import json, urllib
import os
itemRap = []
itemIds = []
pageNumber = 1
#initiating to make first while loop run
url = "https://search.roblox.com/catalog/json?Category=2&PageNumber=" + str(pageNumber)
response = urllib.urlopen(url)
data=json.loads(response.read())
while data:
#gets data for 1 page of collectibles
#puts data into lists based on Id and RAP
counter = 0
while counter != len(data):
if data[counter]['BestPrice'] != '':
itemIds.append(data[counter]['AssetId'])
itemRap.append(data[counter]['BestPrice'])
counter = counter + 1
pageNumber = pageNumber + 1
url = "https://search.roblox.com/catalog/json?Category=2&PageNumber=" + str(pageNumber)
response = urllib.urlopen(url)
data=json.loads(response.read())
print(len(itemIds))
print(len(itemRap))
#clears important files- change to graph data later?
itemIdFile = open("ItemIds.txt","a+")
itemRapFile = open("ItemRap.txt","a+")
itemIdFile.truncate(0)
itemRapFile.truncate(0)
#unloading itemIds and itemRap lists into files
x = 0
for x in range(len(itemIds)):
itemId = (str(itemIds[x])+"\n" )
itemPrice = (str(itemRap[x])+"\n" )
itemIdFile.write(itemId)
itemRapFile.write(itemPrice)
x = x + 1
