I'm trying to create a program that will prompt the user for a list of text
files to read from, then read those text files and build a dictionary of all
the unique words found. Then finally put those unique words into another file
and make it alphabetical order.
What I've got:
import string
s = input("Enter a file name: ") + ".txt"
filepath = "I:\\" + s
# remove all punctuation marks and make lower case
s_nopunct = "".join(c for c in s if c not in string.punctuation).lower()
# convert to a sorted list of unique words via set comprehension
list_unique = sorted(list({word for word in s_nopunct.split()}))
print("\nSorted list of unique words in sentence:")
print(list_unique)
with open("C:\\Users\\Desktop\\words.dat", "w") as f:
for x in list_unique:
f.write(x + "\n")
I need help making it so that the user is prompted to enter at least 3 files.
And also, I tried making those unique words to write to another file (I got it
that far), but how do I make it more of an arbitrary path (rather than the
C:\Users etc) since I need it so that anyone can run that program and
write/find to that file.
