While playing with Python I came up with a simple simulator for a supermarket where I catalog the items and their prices.

N=int(input("Number of items: ")) n1=0 name1=str(input("Product: ")) price1=float(input("Price: ")) price1="%.2f $" % (price1) n=n1+1 item1=f"{n}.{name1}---{price1}" table=[] table.append(item1) while n<N: name=str(input("Product: ")) price=float(input("Price: ")) price="%.2f $" % (price) n=n+1 item=f"{n}.{name}---{price}" table.append(item) for x in range(len(table)): print (table[x])

For the input

Number of items: 3 Product: Milk Price: 5 Product: Water Price: 1 Product: Apple Price: 3.49

For the output

1.Milk---5.00 $ 2.Water---1.00 $ 3.Apple---3.49 $

I want to get the print output exported as a txt. file to use it in another project.

You can print to a file instead of the standard output using the following snippet of code:

with open('out.txt', 'w') as f: print('Some text', file=f)

So, in your specific case, you could edit the output loop as follows to print to the file 'out.txt':

with open('out.txt', 'w') as f: for x in range(len(table)): print (table[x], file = f)

Depending on what you want this program to do, you could either just pipe the output from the command line (something like python3 my_program.py > output.txt) or open and write the file from python itself:

with open("output.txt", "w") as outfile: for x in range(len(table)): outfile.write(table[x] + "\n")
