We have many techniques for that as we have previously discussed. We have opened the file as f and we will be using f whenever we have to specify the file. L= #list to store the words with maximum count Maxcount=0 #maximum among the count of each words Let us start with initializing variables and opening file fname=input("enter file name") Otherwise, if it is greater then we clear the list and place this word in the list. If count is less than maximum count we ignore the word if it is equal we will place it in a list.
Then we check it with the maximum count which is initialized as zero in the beginning. The algorithm we are going to follow is quite simple first we open the file then we read the contents we will see how many times each word is repeated and store them in a variable called count.
Make sure you have created and saved the file in proper directory. Because once you specify the file name for opening it the interpreter searches the file in the same directory of the program. Most frequent words in a text file with Pythonįirst, you have to create a text file and save the text file in the same directory where you will save your python program. Now let’s get into our job of finding the most frequent words from a text read from a file. In case you want to learn it go through this link text file in Python #for iterative method of reading text in filesĪs our job is to just read the contents of the file and then finding the most frequent word in a text read from a file we have no space for the write operation. #to read each line and store them as list The syntax for each technique is given below #to read the entire contents of text into a single string We, can also read each line of text and store them all in a list. One way is reading the overall contents of the file into a string and we also have iterative techniques in which in each iteration one line of text is read. There are several techniques for reading files. Though there are several ways of opening a file I prefer this way because we need not specify the close statement at the end.įor more understanding on files go through this link handling files Reading a file: The syntax to open a file is given below: with open(«filename», «mode») as «variable»:
To perform any operation the program must open the file. Operations performed on the data in files include the read and write operations. Text files only contain characters whereas, all the other file formats include formatting information that is specific to that file format.
Text files, music files, videos, and various word processor and presentation documents are those we are familiar with. So, let’s learn about files Handling files in pythonĭata is often stored in text files, which is organized. For better understanding, we need to be familiar with files and the operations on files. Instead of doing on normal text let us do this on a text read from a file.
