Need help writing to a text file in Python

[telgroc]

I need to use a pre-existing list of strings in the format stated below. these strings need to be written to a text file called "input.txt"
(so basically, there are 3 lines of data for each student and each of the fields is separated by a comma)

<first name>,<middle name>,<last name>,<box number>
<number>,<street>,<city>,<state>,<zip code>
<gpa>

so far I have:

listOfStrings=['Samuel','C.','Young','9614','\n','24','Overlook Park','Philadelphia','PA','43278','\n','3.04','\n]
fh=open("input.txt",'w')
fh.write(listOfStrings)
fh.close()
 

but that outputs:
SamuelC.Young9614
24OverlookParkPhiladelphiaPA43278
3.04

so how do I get commas in there? Thanks in advance.

Join the list of strings with a space character. Split the string on " \n ". Then:

'\n'.join([','.join(item.strip().split()) for item in outputList])
