from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
from urllib.request import Request, urlopen
import re
req = Request("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBn0TxzmKXI")
html_page = urlopen(req)
soup = BeautifulSoup(html_page, "lxml")
tags = soup.find_all('a')
for tag in tags:
t = tag.get('href')
x = t.find('watch?v')
if x > 0:
with open("C:BGOutput.txt", "a+") as text_file:
text_file.write("Links are :: " % x)
I am trying to write to file called output.txt rather than print on screen.
Also I want to skip writing to file if contain text "google"

You need to escape your backslashes in your file path i.e."C:\BG\Output.txt"or use a raw string i.e.r"C:BGOutput.txt".

In regards to program not writing to file
It looks like there is an issue with your code indentation. If you move the line text_file.write("Links are :: " % x) one indent level futher to the right, it may solve your problem.
In regards to checking links the link to google
You might try using String.index() (linked here) to see if you can find an occurrence of 'google.com'.

if 'watch?v' in t and 'google' not in t:
with open("Output.txt", "a+") as text_file:
text_file.write("Links are :: " + t)
text_file.write('n')
Its simple text in string gives match text not in works for tag not having google
Output
Links are :: /watch?v=rb8K4nv2y7A
Links are :: /watch?v=rb8K4nv2y7A

you have two error here:
text_file.write("Links are :: " % x)
first no %s where variables should be inserted, second x is index it should be t.
for performance it better to open file outside loop
with open("C:BGOutput.txt", "a+") as text_file:
for tag in tags:
t = tag.get('href')
x = t.find('watch?v')
# if 'watch?v' in t:
# or
if x > 0:
text_file.write("Links are :: %sn" % t)
# or
# text_file.write("Links are :: " + t + "n")

you have two error here:
text_file.write("Links are :: " % x)
first no %s where variables should be inserted, second x is index it should be t.
for performance it better to open file outside loop
with open("C:BGOutput.txt", "a+") as text_file:
for tag in tags:
t = tag.get('href')
x = t.find('watch?v')
# if 'watch?v' in t:
# or
if x > 0:
text_file.write("Links are :: %sn" % t)
# or
# text_file.write("Links are :: " + t + "n")
