I have a text file say storyfile.txt
Content in storyfile.txt is as
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe
I have another file- hashfile.txt that contains some words separated by comma(,)
Content of hashfile.txt is:
All,mimsy,were,the,borogoves,raths,outgrabe
My objective is to
1. Read hashfile.txt
2. Insert Hashtag on each of the comma separated word
3. Read storyfile.txt . Search for same words as in hashtag.txt and add hashtag on these words.
4. Update storyfile.txt with words that are hash-tagged
import in_place
hashfile = open('hashfile.txt', 'w+')
n1 = hashfile.read().rstrip('\n')
print(n1)
checkWords = n1.split(',')
print(checkWords)
repWords = ["#"+i for i in checkWords]
print(repWords)
hashfile.close()
with in_place.InPlace('storyfile.txt') as file:
for line in file:
for check, rep in zip(checkWords, repWords):
line = line.replace(check, rep)
file.write(line)

Why is this kind of output is coming?
Why the last sentence has no newlines in it?
Where I am wrong?
The output
attached image
import in_place
with in_place.InPlace('somefile.txt') as file:
for line in file:
line = line.replace('mome', 'testZ')
file.write(line)
Look if this helps. This fulfills the objective that you mentioned, though I have not used the in_place module.
hash_list = []
with open("hashfile.txt", 'r') as f:
for i in f.readlines():
for j in i.split(","):
hash_list.append(j.strip())
with open("storyfile.txt", "r") as f:
for i in f.readlines():
for j in hash_list:
i = i.replace(j, "#"+j)
print(i)
Let me know if you require further clarification on the same.
