File mode 'w+'

Post by cagiva » Mon Oct 23, 2017 10:33 pm

Does MicroPython support the 'w+' file mode?
w+ : Opens a file for both writing and reading. Overwrites the existing file if the file exists. If the file does not exist, creates a new file for reading and writing.

Code: Select all

  with open('log.tx', 'w+') as f:
         v = int(f.read())
         v = v+1
         f.write(str(v))
