Hi Xavier,
The problem is you're mixing up various ways of writing to a file in
Mathematica.
With >> and >>> you can write directly to a file without opening it.
OpenWrite give you something like a file handle that is to be used by
functions like Write and WriteString.
All these things are pretty clearly explained in the manual. I'd say:
select '>>>' and press the help button (not sure what it is on a Linux
platform) and you're set.
Relevant tutorials are:
tutorial/ReadingAndWritingMathematicaFiles
tutorial/StreamsAndLowLevelInputAndOutput
(names to be pasted in the help Search bar)
By the way: I don't think it's a good idea to use reals in file names.
For instance, the decimal point may provide your file with an unwanted
extension.
Showing Plots in a loop can be done by adding the Print function.
Indeed, plots can be printed as well As of version 6 this must be done
when plots are used in a loop and there visibility is desired.
Cheers -- Sjoerd
