python - pandas: write df to text file - indent df to right by 5 white spaces -

i writing df text file so:

file = open("pptx_comparision_log.txt", "w") df= df.to_string() file.write(comp_df) 

this works fine how can indent df sits 5 white spaces right.

so this:

                    dim_pptx  qp_pptx absolute radio        0.0739   0.0753 bbc asian network     0.0013   0.0013 bbc radio 1           0.1441   0.1455 bbc radio 1xtra       0.0057   0.0058 bbc radio 2           0.2336   0.2339 

to:

                         dim_pptx  qp_pptx      absolute radio        0.0739   0.0753      bbc asian network     0.0013   0.0013      bbc radio 1           0.1441   0.1455      bbc radio 1xtra       0.0057   0.0058      bbc radio 2           0.2336   0.2339 

is possible?

thanks.

you can string manipulation after conversion replacing df.to_string() " "*5 + df.to_string().replace("\n", "\n ").
