Hello
Suppose I have a textfile (text1.txt) with following four words:
I see seven. Just say 'list of words'
Apple
balcony
cartridge
damned
paper
bold
typewriter
and I want to have a python script that prints the words following the
word starting with the letter b (which would be cartridge) or
differently put, a script that prints the element following a
specified element:
I am more experienced in Perl, and a beginner in python
I wrote a script that - of course - does not work, that should print
the element in a list following the element that starts with a b
I believe
wordlist = open('words.txt','r').read().split('\n')
using copy/paste: yes it does
should give you the list in Python. In any case,
wordlist = ['Apple','balcony', 'cartridge',
'damned', 'paper', 'bold', 'typewriter']
for i, word in enumerate(wordlist):
if word[0] == 'b':
print(wordlist[i+1]) # 3.0
break
#prints cartridge (in 3.0)
using copy/paste: same (correct) result in python 2.5.2
for wordlist = open... AND for wordlist = [....
