There is a list named 'links' and I want to write as many files as the number of links inside this list (I'm doing web scraping). For example if the list contains 100 links, I would like to write data of each link to a separate text file like '1.txt','2.txt','3.txt'.... .
How can I achieve this type of auto file naming in python?
for l, link in enumerate(links):
filename = str(l+1)+".txt"
#open file and write link contents to it
enumerate gives you the index, value pair from a list, and you can just use the index number as the filename
You could use a for loop..
for i in range(1, 101): # since you started at 1 in your question
fname='{}.txt'.format(i)
with open(fname, 'wb') as f:
f.write(data) # write your data to the file..
f.close()
