I made an error in my program... Sorry, it should be:
def hasRoot(word, root): # This order I find more logical
loc = 0
for letter in root:
loc = word.find(letter,loc) # I missed the ,loc here...
if loc == -1:
return false
return true
# main
infile = open("myCorpus.txt").read().split()
query = "ktb"
outcome = [word for word in infile if hasRoot(word,query)]
