Treehouse Guest TeacherYeah, you're writing to the same file each time. You'll need to write a different file on each loop.
sentences = ["first", "second", "third"]
files = ["file1.txt", "file2.txt", "file3.txt"]
for sentence, file in zip(sentences, files):
open(file, "a").write(sentence)

Treehouse Guest TeacherYou'd need to open() and write() to a file for each step of a loop through a list of sentences.

Python Web Development Techdegree Student 1,789 PointsKenneth let me refrase the question. I have code below, but he just create a file one time (only one file 'new_txt') and the file include all my_sentences through the loop. But i need one sentences in one txt file. If i have a list with 3 items i need 3 txt.file with one item in each txt.file Please clarify how it could be done. Thanks ''' my_sentenses = ['first sentense', 'second sent', 'third sent']
for sentenses in my_sentenses: with open ('new_txt.txt', 'a') as file: file.write(sentenses)'''
