How to write the data from two variable into a File python

Question

I have a log file where i'm fetching only the desired output and into two different variables and when i run the code it prints currently but i need both the variable data written into another file called file1. I have the raw code sample which i tried working with print but not getting the idea about writing it into a file.

with open("testfile","r") as fh:
    for line in fh:
        if "ping" in line:
            if HOST != "NA" and Flag:
                mydata1 = hostname  

        elif HOST != "NA" and Flag and HOST not in mydata1:
            mydata2 = logname
            mydata3 = open('file1', 'w')
            mydata3.write(mydata1,mydata2)
    mydata3.close()
#print(mydata1,mydata2)

This line might be causing some problem lif HOST != "NA" and Flag and HOST not in mydata1: — Rakesh

Your code is really confusing. What is hostname or logname? Please make a reproducible example. Also, there is the logging module designed for logging; is there a reason you're not using that? — roganjosh

@Rakesh, it works perfectly while printing , however i'm not sure about my new file writing if thats correct or not. — Karn Kumar

@roganjosh, as i said raw code becuae it has some company data hence i snipped the real data and Just kept sample for the sake of variable names which shows it has data. However its not system logging , its kind of slef created log data where we don't hve option to use logging module. — Karn Kumar

Try using str.format:

Ex:

with open("testfile","r") as fh:
    for line in fh:
        if "ping" in line:
            if HOST != "NA" and Flag:
                mydata1 = hostname

        elif HOST != "NA" and Flag == True and HOST not in mydata1:
            mydata2 = logname
            mydata3 = open('file1', 'w')
            mydata3.write("{0} {1}".format(mydata1,mydata2))
    mydata3.close()

let me try the provided.

it would be easier, or at least for me, to put mydata1 + " " + mydata2, or if they use 3.6, f"{mydata1} {mydata}"

@IvánC.. You can use that also. I am just used to str.format :)
