What I'm trying to do is store a bunch of information into a .csv
file. Each row will contain a date, webpage, etc of a job
application.
My difficulty is that it seems something I am doing is not recording
the line breaks. I've read that \r\n are default in the csv module
but so far I can not seem to use them successfully..So every time I
enter a new list of data it just gets appended to the end of the last
row in the .csv file.
It should read:
"date", "company", "title", "site", "site url", "ref_ID"
"date", "company", "title", "site", "site url", "ref_ID"
but instead it does this:
"date", "company", "title", "site", "site url", "ref_ID""date",
"company", "title", "site", "site url", "ref_ID" and so forth....
Here's the segment of code responsible for my troubles.
import csv
date = raw_input("Enter the date applied: ")
company = raw_input("Enter the company applied to: ")
job_title = raw_input("Enter the job title: ")
site = raw_input("Enter the website used: ")
site_url = raw_input("Paste the URL here: ")
ref_ID = raw_input("Enter the reference ID: ")
entry_list = [date, company, job_title, site, site_url, ref_ID]
print "Are you sure you want to add\n",
for entry in entry_list:
print entry
print "to the file?"
answer = yes_and_no()
if answer == "y":
append_file(entry_list,filename)
def append_file(list,filename):
text_file = open(filename, "a")
writer = csv.writer(text_file, quoting=csv.QUOTE_NONNUMERIC)
writer.writerow(list)
text_file.close()
