import csv import xlwt import os import sys # Look for input file in same location as script file: inputfilename = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(sys.argv[0]), 'tabdelimited.txt') # Strip off the path basefilename = os.path.basename(inputfilename) # Strip off the extension basefilename_noext = os.path.splitext(basefilename)[0] # Get the path of the input file as the target output path targetoutputpath = os.path.dirname(inputfilename) # Generate the output filename outputfilename = os.path.join(targetoutputpath, basefilename_noext+'.xls') # Create a workbook object workbook = xlwt.Workbook() # Add a sheet object worksheet = workbook.add_sheet(basefilename_noext, cell_overwrite_ok=True) # Get a CSV reader object set up for reading the input file with tab delimiters datareader = csv.reader(open(inputfilename, 'rb'), delimiter='\t', quotechar='"') # Process the file and output to Excel sheet for rowno, row in enumerate(datareader): for colno, colitem in enumerate(row): worksheet.write(rowno, colno, colitem) # Write the output file. workbook.save(outputfilename) # Open it via the operating system (will only work on Windows) # On Linux/Unix you would use subprocess.Popen(['xdg-open', filename]) os.startfile(outputfilename) The code is also available at the following URL in case the formatting gets eaten by the mail system: http://pastebin.com/APpM7EPf Regards Walter
