when I write to a file (for a specfic write) a bunch of NUL's appear in my text document. For example:
main.py
with open('database.txt', 'r+') as database:
# Read database for all users
allusers = database.read()
allusers = str(allusers)
# Split the users by splitter '<>'
splitusers = allusers.split('<>')
userplace = splitusers[userplace]
userplace = str(userplace) + str('<>')
print(userplace)
allusers_as_list = allusers.split('<>')
print(allusers_as_list)
allusers_list_edited = [word for word in allusers_as_list if word not in userplace]
print(allusers_list_edited)
writetofile = ' '.join(allusers_list_edited)
writetofile = str(writetofile) + str('<>')
print(writetofile)
with open('database.txt', 'w+') as database:
database.truncate(0)
database.write(writetofile)
with open('usernum.txt', 'r+') as file:
contents = file.read()
list_contents = contents.split('\n')
while ("" in list_contents):
list_contents.remove("")
del list_contents[userplace2]
listToStr = '\n'.join([str(elem) for elem in list_contents])
file.truncate(0)
file.write(listToStr)
database.txt (yes I know I could've used an actual database and yes It's a mess but I've come too far now)

Have I made a basic error or is there something else going on? I'd appreciate any help :). As always if this isn't reproducible and is not helpful on this site I will remove. Thanks
