storing output text in a tkinter textbox

im looking to output a list of text to both a text file as well as a tkinter textbox. Currently I have it working to print to a text file being held in the same folder. I would like this same list to be printed on screen into the outputToScreen textbox
From my research I think I am meant to use .insert(index , text) but I can not get this method to work. I have also seen some old code using a .set function but when I tried this I came across an error saying that textbox's don't have that method

Text widget indexes are strings of the form line.character with lines starting at 0 and characters starting at 1. So, to insert at the start you need to use the index "1.0", not 0. If you want to insert at the end you can use the special index "end". If the widget is empty, "1.0" and "end" yield identical results.
outputToScreen.insert("1.0", outputToFile)

my for loop doesn't work when i tried to make a user interface

I'm making a user interface but my for loop is not working. i wanted to say somthing when th username was alredy used butmy code yust skips the for loop and then append the username and password to the list. in the txt file stand in each line username;password
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import *
root = Tk()
root.title("WRTS oefentoets")
root.geometry("735x355")
def sign():
userfile = open("users.txt", "a+")
users = list(userfile.readlines())
found = 0
for line in users:
parts = line.split(";")
if parts[0] == username.get():
found = 1
break;
if found == 1:
bestaatal.place(x= 300, y= 200)
else:
with open('users.txt', "a+") as file_object:
# Move read cursor to the start of file.
file_object.seek(0)
# If file is not empty then append '\n'
data = file_object.read()
if len(data) > 0:
file_object.write("\n")
# Append text at the end of file
file_object.write(username.get() + ";" + password.get())
username = Entry(root, bg = 'black', fg = 'magenta')
password = Entry(root, bg = 'black', fg = 'magenta')
signin = Button(root, bg = 'black', fg = 'magenta', text = 'sign up', command = sign, width = 7)
signin.place(x= 343, y= 181)
username.place(x=262.5, y= 135)
password.place(x=262.5, y= 157.5)

.readlines on a file in append mode starts reading from the end of that file
So, since from userfile you're only reading, just open it in read mode:
with open("users.txt", 'r') as userfile:
... # your code

Python program doesn't write in a file

The user gives input to the program and it should write it in a file There is a problem with uploading it to the txt file.
Plan = open("Plan.txt", "r")
content = Plan.read()
Plan_lista = content.split(",")
Przedmioty = []
Przedmioty = list(set(Plan_lista))
Przedmioty.remove("")
Plan.close()
#Dodawanie linków do listy
Linki = open("Linki.txt", "w+")
print("\n" + "Podaj Link do:")
a=0;
for i in range(len(Przedmioty)):
print (Przedmioty[a], end = "\r")
link = input(": ")
Linki.write(Przedmioty[a] + "," + link)
if ( a != len(Przedmioty)-1):
Linki.write(", ")
a+=1

Setting a scrollbar to work with a treeview

I'm attempting to add a scrollbar to a tree here in order to keep the data within view for the user, as the tree stretches offscreen(the window is limited at 1280x720). However, the scrollbar does not move it across. Here is the code:
self.treeFrame = ttk.Frame(self)
self.treeFrame.grid(row = 12,column = 0,columnspan = 1000,rowspan = 100)
self.tree = ttk.Treeview(self.treeFrame,height = 100, columns = ('name','purchaseprice','previousprices','listingprice','buyingformat','postage','fees','potprofit','offers','viewcount','sold','offertaken','username','dispatch','delivered','returned','relist','feedback'))
self.tree.heading('#0',text = 'saleID',anchor = 'w')
self.tree.heading('name',text = "Item Name",anchor = 'w')
self.tree.heading('purchaseprice',text = "Purchase Price",anchor = 'w')
self.tree.heading('previousprices',text = "Previous Prices",anchor = 'w')
self.tree.heading('listingprice',text = "Listing Price", anchor = 'w')
self.tree.heading('buyingformat',text = "Buying Format",anchor = 'w')
self.tree.heading('postage',text = "Postage",anchor = 'w')
self.tree.heading('fees',text = "Fees",anchor = 'w')
self.tree.heading('potprofit',text = "Potential Profit",anchor = 'w')
self.tree.heading('offers',text = "Best Offer",anchor = 'w')
self.tree.heading('viewcount',text = "Viewcount",anchor = 'w')
self.tree.heading('sold',text = "Sold?",anchor = 'w')
self.tree.heading('offertaken',text = "Offer Taken?",anchor = 'w')
self.tree.heading('username',text = "Username",anchor = 'w')
self.tree.heading('dispatch',text = "Dispatched?",anchor = 'w')
self.tree.heading('delivered',text = "Delivered?",anchor = 'w')
self.tree.heading('returned',text = "Returned?",anchor = 'w')
self.tree.heading('relist',text = "Relisted?",anchor = 'w')
self.tree.heading('feedback',text = "Feedback",anchor = 'w')
hsb = ttk.Scrollbar(self,orient = "horizontal")
self.tree.grid(row = 14,column = 0,sticky ='nsew')
hsb.grid(row = 11,column = 0,columnspan = 10,sticky = 'ew')
hsb.config(command = self.tree.xview)
Does anyone know how I would go about restricting the size of the tree in order to get it into a position where it can be scrolled across with in the bounds of the window?

Scrollbars need to be told what command to run when the user moves the scrollbar, and widgets need to know which command to run when it has been scrolled. You're not doing either of these.
For example, in your code you need to do both of these:
hsb.configure(command=self.tree.xview)
self.tree.configure(xscrollcommand=hsb.set)

PYQT: Set text of lineedit if an item in combobox is selected

My Question:
How can I fill the text in a lineedit with the 'employeeID' if the ADuser is selected?
What I am doing: I run a PS script from python, which gets me the ADusers, then I take the Output from the PS-Script (the AD-Users basically) and fill it into a Combobox (around 500 'items').
Python code(Edited):
# NOTE: this is not the full code, just the full code for solving the problem

for line in content:
tokens = line.split()
if len(tokens) < 2:

tostring = tokens[0] + " " + tokens[1] # <--- this is the full name
self.Vorgesetzte.addItems([tostring])

self.persnum_supervisorBlock.setText("Personalnummer(Vorgesetzter):")
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
w = MainWindow()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
So what I need to do next is: If the AD-User is selected in the Combobox, I need to set the text in a lineedit with the AD-Users attribute of his 'employeeID'.
Powershell code below:
$s = "OU=,DC=,DC="
$User = Get-ADUser -Filter * -Properties name, employeeID -Searchbase $s |
Select-Object -Property name,employeeID
$User | Sort-Object -CaseSensitive | Out-File -Encoding utf8 C:\Users\USER\Desktop\users.txt
Users.txt file (I cant show you the names of our employees thats why I edited it a bit):
name employeeID
---- ----------
forename surname 110001
forename surname 110002
forename surname 110003
forename surname 110004
forename surname 110005
forename surname 110006
I appreciate any help how this might work !

Now that you store the employeeID in the file, it is easier to solve.
What I modified is shown in comments.

Two things to note:
Duplicates are not supported. If you have the same name several times but with different employeeID, the line edit will take the value of the first one encountered (or the last one if you remove the break). But if there are duplicates that's an issue with your file anyway.
Maybe you want to keep the headers we can skip the two first lines using this:
.
for n, line in enumerate(content):
if n<2:
continue
