How to find words repeated 5 times in a text file in python?-CodePudding

I was trying to code a word counter program which selecting word from a random text file. The condition is that words that repeat 5 or more times will be written on the screen. I tried many examples. I tried count() function with if condition like this:

if fullText.count(word) > 5:...

but it does not work.

Here is my code:

from tkinter import *
from tkinter import filedialog

main = Tk()
main.title(".TXT File Word Counter")
main.resizable(height=FALSE, width=FALSE)
main.geometry('500x400')
main.configure(bg='#757575')

labelfont = ("Arial", 14, "bold")

result = dict()

def clear_text():
    textfield.delete(0, END)
    ShowCountedWords.delete(1.0, END)

def open_file():
    main.filename = filedialog.askopenfilename()

def count_word(file):
    fileOpen = open(str(file), 'r')
    fullText = fileOpen.readlines()
    fileOpen.close()
    for word in textfield.get().split(', '):
        for text in fullText:
            if word in result:
                result[word] = result[word]   text.count(word)
            else:
                result[word] = text.count(word)
    ShowCountedWords.delete(1.0, END)
    for key, value in result.items():
        ShowCountedWords.insert('1.0', '{0} : {1} \n'.format(key, value))

    result.clear()


heading = Label(main, text=".TXT File Word Counter")
heading.place(x=150, y=2)
heading.config(bg="#757575", font=labelfont, fg="#ffffff")

textfield = Entry()
textfield.place(x=3, y=30)
textfield.config(width=81, borderwidth=2)

btnSelectFile = Button(main, text="Select .txt File", command=lambda : open_file())
btnSelectFile.place(x=4, y=60)
btnSelectFile.config(width=20, bg="#66BB6A")

btnCount = Button(main, text="Count Words", command=lambda : count_word(main.filename))
btnCount.place(x=173, y=60)
btnCount.config(width=20, bg="#42A5F5")

btnClear = Button(main, text="Clear", command=lambda : clear_text())
btnClear.place(x=344, y=60)
btnClear.config(width=20, bg="#ef5350")

ShowCountedWords = Text(main, height=18, width=61)
ShowCountedWords.place(x=4, y=100)
ShowCountedWords.config(bg="#616161", fg="#ffffff")


main.mainloop()

What should I do? (tkinter is unimportant at this problem.)

fullText.replace(",","")
fullText.replace(".","")
for word in textfield.get().split(' '):
   #your code

if you split the string with ", " most words will get skipped

CodePudding user response：

In your loop "for text in fullText" you are iterating through a list of lines from the file you opened, not a list of words to add to a dictionary. Your logic is correct, iterate through the list, find a word, and if it already exists in the dictionary add a count to it and if not, make it a new instance with count = 1. However, you need to split each line from the list of lines into a sublist of words, and those are the words you want to be iterating through.

CodePudding user response：

In this case, it's easier to handle the file content as one big string, not as a list of lines:

with open(file, "r") as f:
    fulltext = f.read().lower()
    for word in textfield.get().lower().split(", "):
        count = fulltext.count(word)
        if count >= 5:
            result[word] = count
