45. Writing Delimited Files

• Writing delimited files is easy. You simply combine the items for each line, separated by a comma, with a \n on the end and then write it to the file

#Open file for append (add to)
file = open('addresses.csv','a')

name = "Jay Jones"
address = "56 3rd St"
city = "Delaware"
phone = "08556 474562"

#Write a line separated by commas, \n on the end
file.write(name + "," + address + "," + city + "," + phone + "\n")

#Close file
file.close()
