How to save some results in .txt file with Python? - Melcu54 - May-25-2021
hello. I have this Python code, that makes a Parsing. But I want to save the results in the save.txt file. How can I do that? How to save python screen output to a text file? I am using PyScripter.

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
html = urlopen("http://www.pythonscraping.com/exercises/exercise1.html")
bsObj = BeautifulSoup(html, "html.parser")
print(bsObj.title)
print(bsObj.h1)

Anything you
print() (which by default goes to stdout and then to your screen) can be redirected to a file.output = "Some data for you"
print(output) # this goes to the screen
with open("/tmp/data.out", "w") as datafile:
print(output, file=datafile) # this goes to the opened file.

Use Requests and not urllib,it will save you trouble if doing more parsing in future.
Using
print() to save output as bowlofred show is more rare to use,but it do work.Here how i would do it,no camelCase🐪 in Python.
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
html = requests.get("http://www.pythonscraping.com/exercises/exercise1.html")
soup = BeautifulSoup(html.content, "html.parser")
with open('out.txt', 'w', encoding='utf-8') as f:
f.write(f'{soup.title.text}\n{soup.h1.text}')Output:A Useful Page

thank you. But I must save the content of <span class> tag, extracted from the web, not my own output. That was the problem.
nameList = bsObj.findAll("span", {"class":"green"}) - this one I must save it
I try something, but is not working:

for name in nameList:
with open('out.txt', 'w', encoding='utf-8') as f:
f.write(f'{name.text}\n{bsObj.h1.text}')

span tag in the link you using,are you taking about an other url address that want span tag from?As i think you read the book Web Scraping with Python,then this is the url address used.

name_list = soup.find_all("span", {"class":"green"})
with open('out.txt', 'w', encoding='utf-8') as f:
for name in name_list:
f.write(f'{name.text}\n')
