Easily Structuring Data

CSV and TXT Writer Library

This library provides functionality for writing data to CSV and TXT files.

Functions

write_to_csv(data, filename, labels='None')

This function takes two lists and adds them to a CSV file line by line.

If you choose to add labels, it will add data based on how many label rows there are.

• data: Multidimensional list of data for each line.
• labels: List of labels for each row (optional).
• filename: Name of file.

write_to_txt(data, filename, labels='None', char_separator='None')

This function takes two lists and adds them to a TXT file line by line.

If you choose to add labels, it will add data based on how many label rows there are.

If you choose to add a character separator instead of the default ,, it will add that character in between elements.

• data: Multidimensional list of data for each line.
• labels: List of labels for each row (optional).
• filename: Name of file.
• char_separator: Character separator (optional).
