查找.txt文档中的单词总数

Question

find = open("words.txt")

def noE():    
    for line in find:
        if line.find("e") == -1:
            word = line.strip()
            print word,

noE()

The above code searches the .txt file for all words that do not contain the letter "e" and then prints them. I would like to then be able to get a count of the total number of words under this if conditional. I looked into the python docs and found Count() but the import wasn't working for me (assuming I did something wrong). Any help would be much appreciated!

Answer 1

Just add a counter variable inside of your for loop.

Also, don't use line.find('e') . Use the in keyword instead:

with open('words.txt', 'r') as handle:
    total = 0

    for line in handle:
        if 'e' not in line:
            total += 1
            word = line.strip()

            print word,

Answer 2

This would be more pythonic, and useful if you want to use the words for something else:

find = open("find.txt")

noes = [line.strip() for line in find if line.find("e")== -1]

print(noes)
print(len(noes))
