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.

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.

thank you for the reply
actually your response was pretty much exactly what i am trying to do
so i will explain what i meant more better
also i will have to learn shell script cuz i looked it up online and it seems i
have to download something and then some other stuff....unless you have the
short steps on how to write a shell script for a win 7 cmd prompt to call 2 or
more python scripts
so what i meant to say in my 1st post is i have to 1st run the create index
program , which i have to run as so:
python createIndex_tfidf.py stopWords.dat testCollection.dat
testIndex.dat titleIndex.dat
i tried b4 a while ago to run the .py file alone but it returns index out of
range errors..so thats why i have to run it with the other 4 .dat files
it takes a few minutes to build the index and then the prompt returns me to the
folder im in and
then i run this:
python queryIndex_tfidf.py stopWords.dat testIndex.dat titleIndex.dat
same reason as b4 , i cant run just .py file alone , as it returns index out of
range errors
so that takes another few more minutes and then the cursor keeps blinking and i
have to adjust the script some how because i just wait till i can try to input
a query at the blinking cursor
so for example..hello world
and it will return the titles up to 100, cuz thats the max returns i put in the
script
so thats completetly perfect what you said ..create a 3rd script..a shell
script to call the total i beleive its 9 files in total.....but like i said i
dont know shell scripting , so i will try to learn it ..hope its not too
complicated...or i can make a 3rd python script ...but not sure how to call the
2 python files and 7 .dat files...sorry even though its a year or so i know
python..still get lost on import and from and include directives
as for the GUI ok i will check out your advice..cuz actually i do have a GUI
version of this program here..and i wanted to merge them..but its seeming to be
complex...i would rather make the GUI for this program cuz its actually exactly
as i like it
thank you for any more explanation on how i can make and run the 3rd merge file
script
On Windows you can create a .bat batch file.
Put what you would enter at the command line into a plain textfile and
give the file the extension ".bat".
Then, to run it, just type the name of the file on the command line.
