Write list to csv, using for loop

I have a six item list

Python

That I need to append to existing csv files: 'tmp'+j+'.txt'

Python

for eachFile in os.listdir(savePath):
    j = eachFile.strip(".tx")
    with open('tmp/'+j+".txt", "a") as myfile:
        for i in (0, len(x)):
            if i < len(x):
                myfile.write(str(x[i]))
            if i == len(x):
                myfile.write(str(x[i])+"/n")

But I receive the following error. I am doing something pretty basic wrong as this code should work. My brain is not working today.

Python

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/XXXX.py", line 322, in <module>
    myfile.write(str(x[i])+"/n")
IndexError: list index out of range

Should I adjust the length of the loop for i?

Just a guess, since I don't know Python, but doesn't len(x) return the length of the list, not the index of the last item in the list?

You should try

Python

for i in (0, len(x)-1):

And even simplify a few

Python

for eachFile in os.listdir(savePath):
    j = eachFile.strip(".tx")
    with open('tmp/'+j+".txt", "a") as myfile:
        for i in (0, len(x)-1):
            myfile.write(str(x[i]))
        myfile.write("/n")
