Try:


my_array = ['MY_INVOICE', 'YOUR_INVOICE']

final_string = ''

final_string +=  '\"' +'\", \"'.join(my_array) + '\"'

print(final_string)

wich outputs: "MY_INVOICE", "YOUR_INVOICE"

I solved your problem by trying to change your code as less as possible. This is my solution which works fine, even though I don't really know why you would do something like this. Anyway that's not my problem.

my_array = ['MY_INVOICE', 'YOUR_INVOICE']
my_array = (f"\"{element}\"" for element in my_array)
final_string = ""
final_string +=  ','.join(my_array)

This is the output:

"MY_INVOICE","YOUR_INVOICE"

To turn this list…

my_array = ['MY_INVOICE', 'YOUR_INVOICE']

…into this string:

"MY_INVOICE", "YOUR_INVOICE"

You could do this:

new_str = ', '.join(f'"{word}"' for word in my_array)
Explanation:

f'"{word}"' takes word and puts double-quotes around it - if word was Apple it becomes "Apple"

f'"{word}"' for word in my_array does this for each word in my_array

', '.join(...) joins together the pieces with , in between

I think you mean quotes ("), not commas (,) which your original version already has.

You need to add the quotes yourself. One way is with a generator expression:

final_string +=  ', '.join('"' + w + '"' for w in my_array)

Here I add the quotes around each word before joining them together with commas.

May be :

final_string +=  '"' + '", "'.join(my_array) + '"'

Here's what I think you're looking for.

my_array = ['MY_INVOICE', 'YOUR_INVOICE']
print('"' + '", "'.join(my_array) + '"')

Result:

"MY_INVOICE", "YOUR_INVOICE"

You could do something like this:

my_array = ['MY_INVOICE', 'YOUR_INVOICE']
my_array[0] = '"' + my_array[0] # Adding opening double quotes to the first value
my_array[-1] = my_array[-1] + '"' # Adding closing double quotes to the last value
print('", "'.join(my_array)) # Joining with quotes and comma with space
