Hello I have written python code which run by task scheduler. This code delete the folder which are older than 5 days. code is working fine but I took output of this code in log text file. whenever code run existing log file overwritten. I want see every schedule log , that's not possible now. How I can get output of code in different file every time or in same file without overwriting data.

import os
import sys
import datetime
import shutil
path=r"C:\Users\Iliyas\OneDrive\Documents"
all_dir=os.listdir(path)
age=5
today=datetime.datetime.now()
for each_dir in all_dir:
    each_dir_path=os.path.join(path,each_dir)
    if os.path.isdir(each_dir_path):
       die_cre_date=datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(os.path.getctime(each_dir_path))
       dif_days=(today-die_cre_date).days
       if dif_days > age:
           print(f' The {each_dir_path} folder in older the {dif_days} days, deleting it:')
           shutil.rmtree(each_dir_path)
           print("path deleted")
       else:
           print("there is nothing delete older than 5 days")
           break

This code run by .bat file in task scheduler

You need to use >> to append stdout to a file.
