To write a python program for getting the word count from the contents of a file using command line arguments.
PC Anaconda - Python 3.7
Step 1: Import the sys module.
Step 2: Pass the filename as the first argument after the name of script. Open the file as sys.argv[1]
Step 3: Read the file using read() method.
Step 4: Use split() method to split the file content into words.
Step 5: Use len() to find the total words.
Step 6: Run the program to determine the number of words in the file created.
#program is developed: SATHISH R
# REF.NO: 22009045
import sys
count= 0
with open(sys.argv[1],'r') as file:
for line in file:
word= line.split()
count += len(word)
print("program is developed: SATHISH.R")
print("word count in file = ",count)
Thus the program is written to find the word count from the contents of a file using command line arguments.
