How to use txt file instead of Article ? (Python)

Question

I wrote a code for reading article and self-learning AI. First, I read the article with URL and download it.Then I parse the article and use it for my AI's learning text.But now I want to read text from txt file.How can I assign txt file's text to Article object ? (Please check code to clear my wish ) Thanks all.

article = Article('URL for article')
article.download()
article.parse()
article.nlp()
corpus = article.text

text= corpus
sentence_list = nltk.sent_tokenize(text)

PS:I want to use txt file instead of URL. But I do not remove article from code because it will be necessary again.

Answer 1

I tried many options but only way is that not using Article.So I remove Article parts and change like this :

f = open("visp.txt", "r",encoding="utf8")

#article = Article('visp.txt')
#article.download()
#article.parse()
#article.nlp()
#corpus = article.text


f = open("demo.txt", "r",encoding="utf8")
corpus = f.read()
print(corpus)

PS: Do not forget encoding while open the .txt file.
