I don't understand the question. You are running one file at a time. First you run createIndex_tfidf.py, then you run queryIndex_tfidf.py Maybe you mean to ask how to combine them both to one call of Python? (1) Re-write the createIndex_tfidf.py and queryIndex_tfidf.py files to be in a single file. (2) Or, create a third file which runs them both one after another. That third file doesn't even need to be a Python script. It could be a shell script, it would look something like this: python createIndex_tfidf.py stopWords.dat testCollection.dat testIndex.dat titleIndex.dat python queryIndex_tfidf.py stopWords.dat testIndex.dat titleIndex.dat and you would then call it from whatever command line shell you use. > ..or actually link to a front end > GUI ,so when an question or word or words is input to the input box..it > can go to the actiona dnrun the above mentioned lines of code You can't "link to a front end GUI", you have to write a GUI application which calls your scripts. There are many choices: tkinter is provided in the Python standard library, but some people prefer wxPython, PyQT4, or other GUI toolkits. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=python+gui+toolkits -- Steven D'Aprano "Ever since I learned about confirmation bias, I've been seeing it everywhere." -- Jon Ronson -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
