I am trying to have the search return several numbers or words in a single
sentences now. I don't know if I am using the wrong format I am trying to use
the split method because I thought I could return several parts of a sentence
with it.
For example if it had 1 2 3 4 5 I thought I could search and return 1 3 5 or if
it had “to set the function” I could return
“set function” from that line, but I can’t get it working properly.
I have tried several different approaches with split. I have tried to split it
at the raw_input() line, at the if statement, putting it in a loop and
declaring it separately. I have looked up, in the python library to make sure I
am entering it properly. It will ether run trough and not work like I expect or
it will come up with an error.
I think I am using the right method in the wrong way. If you could tell me if I
am trying the correct method or give me a push in the right direction that
would be grate thanks.
look_in = raw_input ("Enter the search file to look in ")
search = raw_input ("Enter your search item ")
c = open(look_in, "r").read().count(search.split()
if c: print search, ",", c,"Of your search was found"
else: print "Your search was not found"
