Trouble making a table (repeats itself)

[EDN Admin]

Hi guys, I need help with my code. Ive got it so it gets input from an external .txt file and spits out the table with the input on the given intervals. however, with each new input the program makes a whole new table. I need to change something so it just
adds the input to the existing table, but I honestly have no idea how I would do that. Thanks in advance for the help!
