How to handle text file in python

I have a file name called words.txt having Dictionary words in it. I call this file and ask the user to enter a word. Then try to find out whether this word is present in this file or not if yes print True else Word not found.

wordByuser  = input("Type a Word:")
file = open('words.txt', 'r')
    
if wordByuser in file: #or if wordByuser==file:
    print("true")
else:
    print("No word found")

The words.txt files contain each letter in a single line and then the new letter on the second line.

Solution

  • Read the file first, also use snake_case https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/ 

    user_word  = input("Type a Word:")
with open('words.txt') as f:
    content = f.read()
    if user_word in content:
        print(True)
    else:
        print('Word not found')
