Print output to text file (.txt) using Python

I want print my output to text file. But the results different if I print in terminal. My code :

...
words = keywords.split("makan","Rina")
sentences = text.split(".")
for itemIndex in range(len(sentences)):
for word in words:
if word in sentences[itemIndex]:
print('"' + sentences[itemIndex] + '."')
break


The ouput like this :

"Semalam saya makan nasi padang."
" Saya makan bersama Rina."
" Rina pesan ayam goreng."


If I add print to text file :

words = ["makan","Rina"]
sentences = text.split(".")
for itemIndex in range(len(sentences)):
for word in words:
if word in sentences[itemIndex]:
with open("corpus.txt",'w+') as f:
f.write(sentences[itemIndex])
f.close()


The output just :

Rina pesan ayam goreng


Why? How to print outputs to text file same like I print outputs in terminal?

You are reopening the file for each iteration of the loop so when you write to it you overwrite what is already there. You need to open the file outside of all the loops and open it in append mode, denoted by a.

a

When you finish you will end up with only the last line in the file. Remember to close the file using f.close() when you are done with it.

f.close()

a

f.close

Because you are listing with open inside of the loop, and you're using 'w+' mode, your program is going to overwrite the file each time, so you will only end up with the last line written to the file. Try it with 'a' instead, or move with open outside of the loop.

with open

'w+'

'a'

with open

with open

close

close

Your code should be:

words = ["makan","Rina"]
sentences = text.split(".")
with open("corpus.txt",'w+') as f:
for itemIndex in range(len(sentences)):
for word in words:
if word in sentences[itemIndex]:
f.write(sentences[itemIndex] + 'n')
