Here is the script I am using:
from os import linesep
from string import punctuation
from sys import argv
script, givenfile = argv
with open(givenfile) as file:
# List to store the capitalised lines.
lines = []
for line in file:
# Split words by spaces.
words = line.split(' ')
for i, word in enumerate(words):
if len(word.strip(punctuation)) > 3:
# Capitalise and replace words longer than 3 (without
punctuation)
words[i] = word.capitalize()
# Join the capitalised words with spaces.
lines.append(' '.join(words))
# Join the capitalised lines by the line separator
capitalised = linesep.join(lines)
# Optionally, write the capitalised words back to the file.
print(capitalised)
Purpose of the script:
To capitalize the first letter of any word in a given file, leaving
words which have 3 or less letters.
Bugs:
I know it has many bugs or/and it can be improved by cutting down the
code, but my current focus is to fix this bug:
1. When I pass it any file, it does it stuff but inserts a blank
line everytime it processes a new line. (Please notice that I don't
want the output in an another file, I want it on screen).
