The only issue is that the lines would be appended in the file, (I have no issues with this part writing to the file, no permission errors, etc). Therefore, before the outfile is generated, I need to have the prexisting outfile removed and recreated to be written to so that it always stays a new file for use. This is why this script as you have seen is as it is so that I can constantly check if the file exists, and generate a new file if there is. In this case, is there something I could do?
