I want the console output to be written into a file, how do you redirect the console outut to a file 'c1.txt'? plz help. This is my code:

from collections import Counter
from glob import iglob
import re
import os

def removegarbage(text):
    # Replace one or more non-word (non-alphanumeric) chars with a space
    text = re.sub(r'\W+', ' ', text)
    text = text.lower()
    return text

topwords = 100
folderpath = 'path/to/directory'
counter = Counter()
for filepath in iglob(os.path.join(folderpath, '*.txt')):
    with open(filepath, 'r') as filehandle:
        counter.update( removegarbage(filehandle.read()).split() )

for word, count in counter.most_common(topwords):
    print ('{}: {}'.format(count, word))

Do you have output when printing straight to console? Is c1.txt file created after you run the program? – mishik Jun 08 '13 at 11:25

Have a look here: [Stackoverflow - Write stdout to file in Python][1] [1]: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4675728/redirect-stdout-to-a-file-in-python I guess this is what you're searching – Denny Crane Jun 08 '13 at 11:26
yes, c1.txt is created after running the program – user2464521 Jun 08 '13 at 11:26
no..it doesn't seem to work out,i tried this:import sys sys.stdout = open('c1.txt', 'w') print 'test' – user2464521 Jun 08 '13 at 16:35
Try `open('c1.txt', 'a')`. – kirbyfan64sos Jun 08 '13 at 17:18
