This tutorial will teach you how to convert a Text (.txt) file to CSV<\/strong> using the pandas library<\/a> in Python<\/strong>. I’ll give you the complete source code<\/strong> of this application so you could easily test it out on your PC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s get started by installing the pandas library using the pip<\/code> command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

pip install pandas<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Now create a new Python file for this project and name it as code.py<\/code>. After that, copy the below-given code-snippet and paste it in code.py<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
code.py<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
# importing pandas library\nimport pandas as pd\n\n# reading given csv from .txt file\n# and creating dataframe\ndataframe = pd.read_csv("file.txt", delimiter = ',')\n  \n# storing this dataframe in a csv file\ndataframe.to_csv('new_file.csv', index = None)<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n
According to our code, we need to provide a file.txt<\/code> that contains our data. By default, commas will be used as delimiters, but you can easily change them to whatever character you like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, let’s create a file.txt<\/code> in the root folder of your project and add some comma-separated values. For example, have a look at this file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
file.txt<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
ID, Name, Score\n1, Furqan, 100\n2, Ibrar, 95\n3, Ammar, 87\n4, Sheraz, 90\n5, Babur, 65<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Run Python Convert TXT to CSV Project<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
python code.py<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n
The Output of Python TXT to CSV<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
A file named new_file.csv<\/code> will be generated automatically in your project’s root folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here’s a screenshot of that file:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
