EX NO: 8 FILE HANDLING
DATE: a) COPYING, WORD COUNT & LONGEST WORD
AIM:
To write a python program to perform various operations on File.
ALGORITHM:
Step1: Start the program
Step2: Create a file, and save as [Link] in notepad.
Step3: Open the file [Link] in read mode.
Step3: Open a new file [Link] in write mode.
Step4: Read the contents from [Link] file using read function.
Step5: Write the contents to [Link] using write function.
Step6: Display the word count ([Link])
Step7: And display the longest word in the file ([Link])
Step8: Stop the program.
PROGRAM:
f1=open("[Link]","r")
f2=open("[Link]","w")
str=[Link]()
[Link](str)
print("content of file([Link]) is copied to file([Link])")
[Link]()
[Link]()
print("\nThe contents of file([Link]) is:")
c=open("[Link]","r")
print([Link]())
[Link]()
f3=open("[Link]","r")
words=[Link]().split()
print("The word count in the file([Link]) is:",len(words))
max_len=len(max(words,key=len))
for word in words:
if len(word)==max_len:
print("The longest word in the file([Link]) is:",word)
[Link]()
OUTPUT:
content of file([Link]) is copied to file([Link])
The contents of file([Link]) is:
Hello
This is python programming lab.
The word count in the file([Link]) is: 6
The longest word in the file([Link]) is: programming
RESULT:
Thus, the above program was executed successfully and the output was verified.
EX. NO: 8 FILE HANDLING
DATE: b) COMMAND LINE ARGUMENTS (WORD COUNT)
AIM:
To write a Python program to count the words in a file given in command line arguments.
ALGORITHM:
Step 1: Start the program.
Step 2: Open the file given in the command line arguments in read mode.
Step 3: Read the contents of the file.
Step 4: Count the number of words in the file.
Step 5: Display the number of words.
Step 6: Stop the program.
PROGRAM:
import sys
def countWords(sentence):
wordCount = 0
data = [Link]('\\n')
for line in data:
line = [Link]().split(' ')
line = [[Link](',.;!?') for word in line]
wordCount += len(line)
return wordCount
def main():
if len([Link]) == 2:
f = open([Link][1],'r')
sentence = [Link]()
count = countWords(sentence)
print("Number of words in the given sentence:",count)
else:
print("Unexpected number of command line arguments!")
[Link]()
if __name__=='__main__':
main()
[Link]
I LOVE PYTHON PROGRAMMING TO THE CORE
OUTPUT:
C:\Users\olgar\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\Scripts>py [Link] [Link]
Number of words in the given sentence: 7
RESULT:
Thus, the above program was executed successfully and the output was verified.
EX. NO: 8 FILE HANDLING
DATE: c) FINDING MOST FREQUENT WORDS
AIM:
To write a Python program to find the frequency of words in a text file.
ALGORITHM:
Step 1: Start the program.
Step 2: Read the filename.
Step 3: Open the file in read mode.
Step 4: Read each line from the file and perform following operations on it.
Step 4.1: Change it to lowercase.
Step 4.2: Remove the punctuations.
Step 4.3: Split each line into words and count them.
Step 5: Print the words and it count.
Step 6: Stop the program.
PROGRAM:
def main():
filename=input("enter the file: ").strip()
infile=open(filename,"r")
wordcounts={}
for line in infile:
processLine([Link](),wordcounts)
pairs=list([Link]())
items=[[x,y] for (y,x) in pairs]
[Link]()
for i in range(0, len(items), 1):
print(items[i][1]+"\t"+str(items[i][0]))
def processLine(line,wordcounts):
line=replacePunctuations(line)
words=[Link]()
for word in words:
if word in wordcounts:
wordcounts[word]+=1
else:
wordcounts[word]=1
def replacePunctuations(line):
for ch in line:
if ch in "~@#$%^&*()_-+=<>?/.,:;!{}[]''":
line=[Link](ch," ")
return line
main()
[Link]
A file is a collection of data stored on a secondary storage device like hard disk. They can be
easily retrieved when required.
Python supports two types of files:
They are Text files & Binary files.
