Is it supposed to be a CSV file? The description doesn't say anything about the file format, unless "passwd" implies some sort of format. Maybe the given records should be specified in the description. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 23:57, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
 
Agreed. Will do.
 
The essence of the task is "Append a record to the end of a text file". Crudely speaking:
* A record is something that has multi fields.
* A text file is something that can be edited with "notepad"
** in essence it does not contain "raw binary integers" etc.
** The text file "record" represents the original record fields.
I want to avoid simply appending random text to the end of an arbitrary file as nominally programs are (concurrently) manipulating (and storing) structures of data.
