How to Write a Record to a File in Python (Simple)

How to Write a Record to a CSV File in Python (Simple)

Greetings, in this tutorial we are going to cover how to write a record to a file using Python. We will be using a csv format, where each field of a record is seperated by a comma.

This writing a record to a file method will work with any delimiter you desire. Just make sure that the delimiter won't appear in any data you wish to write to the file.

In this file writing tutorial we will be writing to a .txt file. This file writing method will work with any text based file format, including .csv files.

In this Python tutorial, we will be using an array to represent a record. Each element of the array will represent a field. We then combine all elements of this array into one string but we seperate each field/element with a comma. This can be swapped with a delimiter of your choice.

We then create a file object and tell it to append to the file we wish to write the record to. We use the Python with statment so we don't need to worry about closing the file later.

We tell Python to write our new string to the and to write '\n' after it. This is a newline character. We want to store one record per line in this file.
