Python: Using delimiter to write into specific columns of csv file

Question

I have an input text file with each line in the format

Line[X]: [AAA] [BBB] [CCC] :1234

I would like to use " : " as delimiter and write to each column into a excel file. I have tried the following code but not sure if this is the right approach. Any inputs are highly appreciated.

import csv
Text_File = open("some_text_file.txt", "w+")
csv_results = open ("Results.csv", 'w')

for eachline in Text_File:
    csv_results.writer(Text_File, delimiter ='**:**',quotechar='**:**', quoting=csv.QUOTE_MINIMAL)

Thanks!

Answer 1

import csv
txt = open("some_text_file.txt", "w+")
csv_results = open ("Results.csv", 'w')
text_reader = reader(txt)

#this delimiter is for your output file to be read by excel
csv_results.writer(Text_File, delimiter =',')

for line in txt:
    split_line = line.split(":")
    csv_results.writerow(split_line)


txt.close()
csv_results.close()

This should do what you want it to. If you want to remove the spaces on either side of the second column, you can probably use regex for that.
