I'm trying to write a csv file using python csv writer.
In which one of the column value is enclosed in "" [double quotes] e.g. : 'col1' 'col2' "test", when I open the file in wordpad, the word test is expected as "test" but actual result is """test"""
can someone guide for this issue.
Sample snippet of my try out:
csvReader = csv.reader(iInputFile)
writer = csv.writer(open('one_1.csv', 'wb'), delimiter=',', lineterminator='\r\n')
for row in csvReader:
rawRow = []
rawRow.append('31-7-2014') #Appending Date
rawRow.append(row[0]) #Appending data
rawRow.append('\"'+'test'+'\"')
writer.writerow(rawRow)
try with this one
f_writ = open('one_4.csv', 'wb')
csvReader = csv.reader(iInputFile)
writer = csv.writer(f_writ, delimiter=',',
lineterminator='\r\n',
quotechar = "'"
)
for row in csvReader:
writer.writerow(['31-7-2014',row[0],'\"text\"'])
f_writ.close()
also i find very useful this link http://pymotw.com/2/csv/, there are a lot of exemples
