I'm working on Windows. I've a Python file to create a new CSV file and I view that using notepad (even through Ms Excel).
import csv
data=[['fruit','quantity'],['apple',5],['banana',7],['mango',8]]
with open('d:\lineter.csv','w') as l:
w=csv.writer(l,delimiter='|',lineterminator='\r')
w.writerows(data)
The resulted file in notepad :
fruit|quantityapple|5banana|7mango|8
My doubt here is whether the carriage return \r
works or not??? It works like lineterminator=''
in notepad. But in excel, it works like '\n'
The output doesn't seem to implement carriage return. When I use lineterminator as :
w=csv.writer(l,delimiter='|',lineterminator='*\r*\n')
The output in notepad is:
fruit|quantity**
apple|5**
banana|7**
mango|8**
This is evident here too.
Can anyone tell me how '\r' works in lineterminator in writer()? Or is there any other thing happening there?
from '\r' not working as `lineterminator` within Python `csv.writer()`
