5,348 PointsHow do I change information in a label? [PYTHON]
Hello, me and my friend are trying to make something because we have no school thanks to the corona virus. The what we want to do for now is to have a screen at first where you give your name, then the name is made in to a file with the file name being the same as the name you gave, that works. Then you go to the next page where you type something in and what you have typt will be saved in the file you just created or already existed and a label bellow the 'entry' will show everything you have typed, it can be more than only the last one
'''from tkinter import * import os import os.path import sys
total_chat = ""
def file_chat(): save_path_chatname = 'C:/Users/luc-s/Desktop/productivity/Python/chat/users' completeName1 = os.path.join(save_path_chatname, Chatname.get()) file = open(completeName1, "a") file.write(chat.get() + "\n")
total_chat = total_chat + chat.get()
file.close()
def user_open(): global chat name = Chatname.get()
#scherm weergaven
screen1 = Tk()
screen1.geometry("500x500")
screen1.title("Chatting")

I have been trying for over 2,5 hours, if you can help me. Please say what we can do.
Thank you for helping me.
