How to replace main.txt by name that is enter in entry?????

I hate tkinter

import shutil shutil.move('main.txt', 'name.txt') there are a couple of ways on how this can be done

Do you want to rename the file?

Module os has many method related for file handling.

os has a method rename.

Why it did not work?

I created 2 programs in same dir: helloworldprogram.py: print("hi") renamer.py: import os os.rename("helloworldprogram.py", "bananapeel.py") And running renamer.py successfully changed "helloworldprogram.py" name to "bananapeel.py".

Import os os.rename("main.txt","name.txt") ☝️☝️ this is code that I have but it will creat name.txt but I want the name that is store inside name

#Does this work? import os from tkinter import * root=Tk() f=open("main.txt","w+") replace=f.replace("main.txt","name.txt") f.close() name=StringVar() nam=Label(text="Name of customer") txtnam=Entry(textvariable=name) os.rename("main.txt", txtnam + ".txt") root.mainloop()

Did you try txtnam.get()?

def rename(): os.rename("main.txt", txtnam.get()) Because the tkinter uses mainloop, you would need any tkinter widget (such as function) to call this function.

Should I be able to type something if I took the file openings away?: from tkinter import * root=Tk() name=StringVar() nam=Label(text="Name of customer") txtnam=Entry(textvariable=name) root.mainloop()

I couldn't type anything

Aren't the widgets supposed to be packed?

from tkinter import * root = Tk() name = StringVar() nam = Label(text="Name of customer") nam.pack() txtnam = Entry(textvariable=name) txtnam.pack() root.mainloop()
