Import sting
Its lower case import and I've no idea what sting is! :-)
If its meant to be string you don't need it.
delimiter = ‘.’
f = open('words.txt', "r")
lines = f.readlines()
for line in lines:
line_items = string.split(line,delimiter)
You don't need the readlines(), just do
with open('words.txt', "r") as f:
line_items = [line.split(',') for line in f]
The string methods are builtin and the string
module is really only needed for backwatds
compatibility these days.
Also this code returns a list of lists of words.
The original code threw away the words after each line.
If you want a single list of words the code would
look more like:
with open('words.txt', "r") as f:
for line in f:
line_items += line.split(',')
To the OP: If you want to get rid of the " signs
around your words you can use the strip()
method too.
