write whitespace/tab to a text file
Hi,
I would l like to write some data to a text file. I want to write the
data with whitespace or tabs in between so that I create tabular
columns like in a spreadsheet. How can I do this in python.
(btw, I'm new to python)
names = ['John','Steve','asimov','fred','jim']
## output I would like in txt file : John Steve
asimov fred jim
f=open('/User/home/Documents/programming/python/test.txt','w')
for x in range(len(names)):
f.write(tags[x])
f.close()

I'm not sure exactly but you'll probably need to find out what the
ASCII code is for a tab.
You don't need to know the ASCII code. Just use \t:
print %s\t%s\t%s % (1,two,3)
If you fixed column spacing with spaces instead of tabs:
print %-8s%-8s%-8s % (1,two,3)

I'm not sure exactly but you'll probably need to find out what the
ASCII code is for a tab. Personally I would just write data straight
into Excel using the win32 extensions. I'm sure the same can be
achieved with OO on a Linux box.

Maybe :
names = [Sebastien, Ana, Elodie, Mohamed, Antoniavna]
maxlen = max(len(n) for n in names)
linetowrite =
for n in names:
linetowrite += n.ljust(maxlen + 3, ' ')
f = open('test.txt', 'w')
f.writelines(linetowrite.strip(' ') + '\n')
f.close()

Definitely consider the Python tutorial.
Also, please provide working code examples. I don't think yours will
work ;)
names = ['John','Steve','asimov','fred','jim']
f = open('/User/home/Documents/programming/python/test.txt','w')
f.write('\t'.join(names))
f.close()
A better alternative could be the csv module.
