In this tutorial, we will program 'How to Read a File Word by Word in Python.' We will learn how to open and read a text file in the application. The objective is to instantly open the text file and display its content. I will provide a sample program to demonstrate the actual coding process in this tutorial.

This topic is very easy to understand. Just follow the instructions I provide, and you will be able to do it yourself with ease. The program I will show you covers the basics of programming for opening a text file. I will do my best to provide you with a simple method for displaying the content of a text file. So, let's start coding.

Getting Started:

First you will have to download & install the Python IDLE's, here's the link for the Integrated Development And Learning Environment for Python https://www.python.org/downloads/.

Creating Main Function

This is the main function of the application. The following code will display a simple GUI in terminal console that will display program. To do this, simply copy and paste these blocks of code into the IDLE text editor.

ret = False
 
 
while True:
        print("\n================= Read File Word by Word =================\n\n")
 
 
        with open('text 1.txt','r') as file:
 
                for line in file:
                        for word in line.split(): 
                                print(word)
 
        opt = input("\nDo you want to try again?(yes/no): ")
 
        if opt.lower() == 'yes':
                ret=False
        elif opt.lower() == 'no':
                ret=True
                print("Exiting program....")
 
        else:
                print("Please enter yes/no:")
                break
 
        if ret == False:
                continue

This Python script reads a text file named text 1.txt and prints each word individually. The script runs in a loop, allowing the user to read the file again or exit the program based on their input. The loop continues until the user decides to stop.

Output:

There you have it we successfully created How to Read File Word by Word in Python. I hope that this simple tutorial help you to what you are looking for. For more updates and tutorials just kindly visit this site. Enjoy Coding!
