Writing the output to a different csv file column

I have some vocabulary and their counterparts to create an Anki deck. I need the program to write the output of my code in two columns of a csv file; first for the vocabulary and second for the meaning. I've tried two codes but neither of them worked. How can I solve this problem?
Notebook content(vocab):
obligatory,義務的
sole,単独,唯一
defined,一定
obey,従う
...
First try:
with open("C:/Users/berka/Desktop/Vocab.txt") as csv_file:
csv_reader = csv.reader(csv_file)
with open("C:/Users/berka/Desktop/v.csv", "w", newline="") as new_file:
csv_writer = csv.writer(new_file, delimiter=",")
for line in csv_reader:
csv_writer.writerow(line)
Second try:
with open("C:/Users/berka/Desktop/Vocab.txt") as csv_file:
csv_reader = csv.DictReader(csv_file)
with open("C:/Users/berka/Desktop/v.csv", "w",) as f:
field_names = ["Vocabulary", "Meaning"]
csv_writer = csv.DictWriter(f, fieldnames=field_names, extrasaction="ignore")
csv_writer.writeheader()
for line in csv_reader:
csv_writer.writerow(line)
Result of the first try:

#Second try was not even close

Like Kevin said, Excel uses ";" as delimiter and your csv code creates a csv file with comma(,) delimiter. That's why it's shown with commas in your Csv Reader. You can pass ";" as delimiter if you want Excel to read your file correctly. Or you can create a csv file with your own Csv Reader and read it with notepad if you want to see which delimiter it uses.

Your first try works, it's the app you're using for importing that is not recognizing the , as the delimiter. I'm not sure where you're importing this to, but at least in Google Sheets you can choose what the delimiter is, even after the fact.

Python Read/Write csv file

Reading and writing data from/to csv file. When I run the program its formatted correctly in the console window, however, the formatting is off in the csv file I'm writing to (has a comma after each letter). What am I missing here?
import csv
with open("WJU stats.csv", 'r') as csv_file:
csv_reader = csv.reader(csv_file)
with open('wjudata.csv', 'w') as new_file:
csv_writer = csv.writer(new_file)
for row in csv_reader:
csv_writer.writerow(row[0])
print(row[0])

The function writerow takes an iterable, for example a list, so it writes each element of the iterable to the file in a comma separated row. The thing is strings are also iterables which elements are characters. If you want a single column csv you should use
csv_writer.writerow([row[0]])

Python place quote around csv cells containing comma

Python: v 3.6
Update:
I'm trying code where EVERYTHING is quoted, i.e. quoting=csv.QUOTE_ALL. For some reason even that is not working, i.e. file is outputting, but WITHOUT quotes.
If this can be resolved, it may help with the remaining question.
Code
import csv
in_path = "eateries.csv"
with open(in_path,"r") as infile, open("out.csv","w", newline='') as outfile:
reader = csv.reader(infile)
writer = csv.writer(outfile, delimiter=",", quoting=csv.QUOTE_ALL)
writer.writerows(reader)
Original Question:
I am trying to write python script that reads csv file and outputs csv file. In output, cells with comma (",") will have quotes
Input:
Expected Output:
Actual Output:
Below is code, please assist
import csv
in_path = "eateries.csv"
with open(in_path,"r") as infile, open("out.csv","w", newline='') as outfile:
reader = csv.reader(infile)
writer = csv.writer(outfile, delimiter=",", quotechar=",", quoting=csv.QUOTE_MINIMAL)
writer.writerows(reader)

quotechar doesn't mean "quote this character". It means "this is the character you use to quote things".
You do not want to use commas to quote things. Remove quotechar=",".
With quotechar corrected, your CSV will quote field values that have commas in them, but importing the CSV into Excel or some other spreadsheet application may not produce cell values with quotation marks. (Also, eateries.csv probably had quoting already.) It is quite likely that you don't actually need quotes in Excel or whatever your spreadsheet app is; the fact that the value is in a single cell instead of spread across multiple is the spreadsheet version of quoting.

CSV reader not reading entire file

I have looked at previous answers to this question, but in each of those scenarios the questioners were asking about something specific they were doing with the file, but the problem occurs for me even when I am not.
I have a .csv file of 27,204 rows. When I open the python interpreter:
python
import csv
o = open('btc_usd1hour.csv','r')
p = csv.reader(o)
for row in p:
print(row)
I then only see roughly the last third of the document displayed to me.

Try so, at me works:
with open(name) as csvfile:
reader = csv.DictReader(csvfile)
for row in reader:
print(row)
reference:
https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/csv.html#csv.DictReader

Try the following code
import csv
fname = 'btc_usd1hour.csv'
with open(fname, newline='') as f:
reader = csv.reader(f)
for row in reader:
print(row)
It is difficult to tell what is the problem without having the sample. I guess the problem would be removed if you add that newline='' for opening the file.
Use the with construct to close the file automatically. Use the f name for a file object when no further explanation is needed. Store the file name to fname to make future modifications easier (and also for easy copying the code fragment for your later programs).
olisch may be right that the console just scrolled so fast you could not see the result. You can write the result to another text file like this:
with open(fname, newline='') as fin,\
open('output.txt', 'w') as fout:
reader = csv.reader(fin)
for row in reader:
fout.write(repr(row) + '\n')
The repr function converts the row list into its string representation. The print calls that function internally, so you will have the same result that you otherwise observe on screen.

maybe your scrollback buffer is just to short to see the whole list?
In general your csv.reader call should be working fine, except your 27k rows aren't extremly long so that you might be able to hit any 64bit boundaries, which would be quite uncommon.
len(o) might be interesting to see.

How to print 'fieldnames' using python csvreader

I have a large csv file that I want to work with and the column heading may change over time. The first thing I want to do is see the field names. I can see the csvreader.fieldnames object in the documentation [link], but I can't find any examples.
What's the simplest way to get started?

You can use a csv.DictReader when you already know the columns that the CSV file will have.
If you don't know that then you could consider reading the first line with csv.reader to obtain the names of the columns and then read the file again with a csv.DictReader (which can then be instantiated with the right fieldnames).

Here is an example,
with open('yourFile.csv', "rt", newline='') as csvfile:
csvreader = csv.DictReader(csvfile,
delimiter=',',
quotechar='|')
return csvreader.fieldnames
