I am novice with Python coding. I am having some issue to send data file into CSV file. I am not sure why it's not being sent the way it's being printed. I couldn't manage to correct way looping. What did I miss in the code?
Image 1: shows how newline is being printed on right manner. However, when I use the for loop down it's sending the file like image 2. What did I mistake and how to resolve to send exactly the same as showing into print data?

the variable 'newfile' in your first for-loop keeps getting overwritten each time your loop through it at line 52. Finally when you exit the loop and enter a new loop at line 72, you are iterating over the LAST assignment set on the 'newfile' variable (see https://stackoverflow.com/a/1816897/5198805) . You're also opening the same file multiple times and ovewriting it. You should open it once and then keep writing each line.
You should save the values in a temporary list
my_lines = []
#line 52
for row_in in range(len(..... stuff)):
... your code
#line 69
print(newfile) # <-- this could be called processed_csv_line
# new code you need to add here
processed_csv_line = newfile
my_lines = my_lines.append(processed_csv_line)
output_file = open("_output.csv","w")
csv_writer = csv.writer(output_file)
# line 72
for row_n in my_lines:
csv_writer.writerow(row_n)
#remember to close file after writing
output_file.close()
