计算文本文件中的单词总数

Question

I am new to python and trying to print the total number of words in a text file and the total number of specific words in the file provided by the user.

I tested my code, but results output of single word,but i need only the overall word count of all the words in the file and also the overall wordcount of words provided by the user.

Code:

name = raw_input("Enter the query x ")
name1 = raw_input("Enter the query y ")
file=open("xmlfil.xml","r+")
wordcount={}
for word in file.read().split():
    if word not in wordcount:
        wordcount[word] = 1
    else:
        wordcount[word] += 1
for k,v in wordcount.items():
    print k, v

for name in file.read().split():
    if name not in wordcount:
        wordcount[name] = 1
    else:
        wordcount[name] += 1
for k,v in wordcount.items():
    print k, v

for name1 in file.read().split():
    if name1 not in wordcount:
        wordcount[name1] = 1
    else:
        wordcount[name1] += 1
for k,v in wordcount.items():
    print k, v

Answer 1

MyFile=open('test.txt','r')
words={}
count=0
given_words=['The','document','1']
for x in MyFile.read().split():
    count+=1
    if x in given_words:
        words.setdefault(x,0)
        words[str(x)]+=1    
MyFile.close()
print count, words

Sample output

17 {'1': 1, 'The': 1, 'document': 1}

Please do not name the variable to handle open() result file as then you'll overwrite the constructor function for the file type.

You can get what you need easily via Counter

from collections import Counter

c = Counter()
with open('your_file', 'rb') as f:
    for ln in f:
        c.update(ln.split())

total = sum(c.values())
specific = c['your_specific_word']
