first open that log file in read mode the iterate each row then split the informations which you want to store in csv file and store that in csv format

import csv logFile = open("logfile.log" ,"r") with open('csvfile.csv' ,'w') as f: #columns in which you want to store csv data fieldnames = ['col1' ,'col2' ,'col3' ,'col4'] writer.csv.DictWriter(f, fieldnames =fieldnames) writer.writeheader() for row in logFile: r = row.split(' ') writer.writerow({'col1' : r[0] ,'col2': r[1] ,'col3' :r[2] ,'col4' : r[3]}) #here you can also concatinate several data which is stored in r logFile.close()
