使用 Python 搜索和替换 a.CSV 文件中的多个名称

Question

i've wrote a code that solves the task, but i doesnt feel well. It is like hit a nail in the wall using a stone instead a hammer.

The Task:

I scrape data from two different Sites using python with gets me two.CSV Files (thx to SIM) and now i want to compare the data. The problem is, that the Site i get the data from, are calling some names different eg

Chelsea FC instead FC Chelsea or FSV Mainz instead 1. FSV Mainz 05 and many more names i have to replace.

Here is the code i made:

text = open("input.csv", "r")
text = ''.join([i for i in text]) \
    .replace("Chelsea FC", "FC Chelsea")
x = open("output1.csv","w")
x.writelines(text)
x.close()

text = open("output1.csv", "r")
text = ''.join([i for i in text]) \
    .replace("FSV Mainz", "1. FSV Mainz 05")
x = open("output_final.csv","w")
x.writelines(text)
x.close()

The Problem is that i have to write a file after every single name i have changed. I mean it does the Job but it hurts my feelings.

Can you guide me the way to better code, please? Attention: I am an absolute beginner!

Thank you very much!

Answer 1

This is one simple way to do

with open("input.csv", "r") as file:
    text = file.read()

text = text.replace("Chelsea FC", "FC Chelsea")
text = text.replace("FSV Mainz", "1. FSV Mainz 05")
# more replaces...

with open("output_final.csv", "w") as x:
    x.write(text)

For more complex text manipulation, try using re (regular expression) module
