Writing to CSV from String or List
suggest changeIntroduction
Writing to a .csv file is not unlike writing to a regular file in most regards, and is fairly straightforward. I will, to the best of my ability, cover the easiest, and most efficient approach to the problem.
Parameters
| Parameter | Details | |———–|———| |open (”/path/”, “mode”)| Specify the path to your CSV file| |open (path, “mode”)|Specify mode to open file in (read, write, etc.)| |csv.writer(file, delimiter)|Pass opened CSV file here| |csv.writer(file, delimiter=’ ’)|Specify delimiter character or pattern
Remarks
open( path, "wb")
"wb"
- Write mode.
The b
parameter in "wb"
we have used, is necessary only if you want to open it in binary mode, which is needed only in some operating systems like Windows.
csv.writer ( csv_file, delimiter=',' )
Here the delimiter we have used, is ,
, because we want each cell of data in a row, to contain the first name, last name, and age respectively. Since our list is split along the ,
too, it proves rather convenient for us.
