[FIXED] How to insert a space and comma between selenium-extracted words into excel file?

Issue

I'm new to Python. Currently, extracting Music Genres from Google. Using Python, selenium, and pandas

i.e) I extracted a genre from
https://www.google.com/search?q=Anything%20I%20Want%20genre

The music has genres of 'Pop music', 'Pop rock', and 'Pop'

Now, I'm writing it into an excel file.

if i % 10 == 0: song_excel.to_excel('./Song_Genre.xlsx',index=False)

However, currently, it wrote in the excel like this: Pop musicPop rockPop

When I double click the excel's cell, the cell automatically separates into multiple rows of words such as;

Pop music

Pop rock

Pop

From the code, the result shows as below

print("genre: {}".format(genre))

genre :

Pop music

Pop rock

Pop

How do I write extracted words to excel in series in one cell?: (Goal) (with space, and with comma) => Pop music, Pop rock, Pop

--- adding some codes

start_row = 2 song_excel = pd.read_excel('./Song_Genre.xlsx')

for i in tqdm.tqdm(range(start_row,len(song_excel))):

if song_excel.iloc[i,2] != 0:
    pass
elif song_excel.iloc[i,2] == 0:
    song_name = song_excel.iloc[i,0]
    url = song_excel.iloc[i,1]

    driver.get(url)

    genre = None

    try:
       genre = driver.find_element(by = By.XPATH, value = "/html/body//*[contains(concat(' ', @class, ' '), ' KKHQ8c ')]").text
    except selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException:

if genre != None:
         song_excel.iloc[i,2] = genre
         pass
if i % 10 == 0:
         song_excel.to_excel('./Song_Genre.xlsx',index=False)

Best,

Solution

It seems that the string contains some '\n' which is interpreted by excel as newline. So you need to replace the value with desired value. Use:

gen = '''Pop music

Pop rock

Pop'''

# Solution
gen = gen.replace('\n', ', ')
temp=pd.DataFrame({'test':[gen]})

Note that without replacing, the excel behaves as you mentioned.
