AIM:

To write a python program for getting the word count from the contents of a file using command line arguments.

EQUIPEMENT'S REQUIRED:

PC Anaconda - Python 3.7

ALGORITHM:

Step 1:

Import sys module to use command line arguments.

Step 2:

Use the open() key with argument sys.argv[1] which means the first index of given argument

Step 3:

Iterate the content of the file using for loop.

Step 4:

Split the contents into each line using .split() function

Step 5:

Iterate the list of lines and increment the value of variable (word) each time

Step 6:

Give the argument "python prgm.py EX12.txt" on the command line.

step 7:

End of the Program.

PROGRAM:

#Program for getting the word count from the contents of a file using command line arguments.
#Developed by: Nithishkumar P
#Register number: 212221230070
import sys
fp=open(sys.argv[1])
count=0
for data in fp:
    l=data.split()
    for i in l:
        count+=1 
print("No. of words in the file:",count)

FILE:

OUTPUT:

RESULT:

Thus the program is written to find the word count from the contents of a file using command line arguments.
