Greg,
You might try…
Import sting
delimiter = ‘.’
f = open('words.txt', "r")
lines = f.readlines()
for line in lines:
line_items = string.split(line,delimiter)

Subject: [Tutor] Reading elements in a file
I am kind of stuck on what is probably a simple thing:
If we have a file of words like this:
“first”,”word”,”in”,”that”,”another”,”part”,”of”,”this”
f = open('words.txt', "r")
words = f.read()
will read the whole file, is there a way to read just the words: first word in
that another part of this
I guess I have to separate on the “,” but I am not quite sure how to go about
this.
Any input would be appreciated.
Regards,
Greg
