Working with Text Files
Here's the text to store in the text file called chocolate.txt. You can use Notepad or TextEdit to do that. Make sure you use ".txt" as the extension, and select "plain text" or "plain ASCII" as the format.

Program developed in Class
The assignment is to write a program that gets lines from a text file,
representing a memo, and words from another text file, representing
words to censure out of the memo. The program then takes both list
of strings and blocks out all the bad words from the memo.
def block( bad, line ): """ takes a line and a bad word and replaces the bad word with xs""" xbad = "x" * len( bad ) line = line.replace( bad, xbad ) return line def getMemo(): memo = [ "Send 10 tons of burgers to White House", "before midnight", "That's a lot of burgers!" ] return memo def getBad(): bad = [ "burger", "tons", "House" ] return bad def processMemo( lines, bad ): newLines = [ ] for line in lines: line = block( bad, line ) newLines.append( line ) return newLines def main(): lines = getMemo( ) bads = getBad() for bad in bads: lines = processMemo( lines, bad ) for line in lines: print( line ) main()
Good Preparation for Homework #5
The same program is developed in several steps (versions) below. We start with a very simplified version of what we have to implement, and one step at a time we add more functionality, using functions.
Version 1
# censureText.py # D. Thiebaut # This program opens two text files, # one containing lines of text, the other one # containing a list of words to remove, # and prints the contents of the first file # with words blocked out. def getMemo(): """gets the memo to be censured""" return "Please deliver 10 burgers and 1 bottle of ketchup" def getBadWord(): """gets the word to block out""" return "burger" def main(): # get a line of text, and a bad word line = getMemo( ) bad = getBadWord( ) # modify line by removing the bad word line = line.replace( bad, "x" ) print( line ) main()
Version 2
In this version, we create a new function called block() that gets a line and a
bad word, and replaces the bad word in line by a series of xs. Block() returns
the new version of the line.
The main program now calls block() to block out the bad word in the line, gets
the line back and prints it.
# censureText.py # D. Thiebaut # This program opens two text files, # one containing lines of text, the other one # containing a list of words to remove, # and prints the contents of the first file # with words blocked out. def getMemo(): """gets the memo to be censured""" return "Please deliver 10 burgers and 1 bottle of ketchup" def getBadWord(): """gets the word to block out""" return "burger" def block( line, bad ): # create a word with 'x' the same length # as the bad word badx = "x" * len( bad ) # modify the line and replace bad with "xx...x" line = line.replace( bad, badx ) return line def main(): # get a line of text, and a bad word line = getMemo( ) bad = getBadWord( ) # modify line by removing the bad word line = block( line, bad ) # display the resulting line print( line ) main()
Version 3
In this version, instead of working with just one word, we work with a list of bad words.
We change the name of getBadWord() to getBadWords() to reflect the fact that it is returning
a list of words. We now have for loop in the main program to iterate through all the bad words.
You may want to remove the #-sign in the main program to see what is happening with the code.
# censureText.py # D. Thiebaut # This program opens two text files, # one containing lines of text, the other one # containing a list of words to remove, # and prints the contents of the first file # with words blocked out. def getMemo(): """gets the memo to be censured""" return "Please deliver 10 burgers and 1 bottle of ketchup" def getBadWords(): """gets the word to block out""" badWords = [ "burger", "ketchup" ] return badWords def block( line, bad ): # create a word with 'x' the same length # as the bad word badx = "x" * len( bad ) # modify the line and replace bad with "xx...x" line = line.replace( bad, badx ) return line def main(): # get a line of text, and a bad word line = getMemo( ) badWords = getBadWords( ) # modify line by removing the bad word for bad in badWords: #print( "blocking out word:", bad ) #print( "line before: ", line ) line = block( line, bad ) #print( "line after: ", line ) #print() # display the resulting line print( line ) main()
- Output
blocking out word: burger line before: Please deliver 10 burgers and 1 bottle of ketchup line after: Please deliver 10 xxxxxxs and 1 bottle of ketchup blocking out word: ketchup line before: Please deliver 10 xxxxxxs and 1 bottle of ketchup line after: Please deliver 10 xxxxxxs and 1 bottle of xxxxxxx Please deliver 10 xxxxxxs and 1 bottle of xxxxxxx
Version 4
We're making the code more modular by taking some code from main and
packaging into a new function, called blockAllWordsInOneLine().
No new behavior is brought in, just moving some code out of main to keep
main short and easy to read.
# censureText.py # D. Thiebaut # This program opens two text files, # one containing lines of text, the other one # containing a list of words to remove, # and prints the contents of the first file # with words blocked out. def getMemo(): """gets the memo to be censured""" return "Please deliver 10 burgers and 1 bottle of ketchup" def getBadWords(): """gets the word to block out""" badWords = [ "burger", "ketchup" ] return badWords def block( line, bad ): # create a word with 'x' the same length # as the bad word badx = "x" * len( bad ) # modify the line and replace bad with "xx...x" line = line.replace( bad, badx ) return line def blockAllWordsInOneLine( line, badWords ): """ gets one line and a list of bad words and blocks out all the bad words in the line. Returns the edited line. """ for bad in badWords: line = block( line, bad ) return line def main(): # get a line of text, and a bad word line = getMemo( ) badWords = getBadWords( ) # modify line by removing the bad word line = blockAllWordsInOneLine( line, badWords ) # display the resulting line print( line ) main()
Version 5
We now make the function getMemo() return a list of lines, rather than just one line.
The main program must be changed, since it is now getting a list of strings rather than one string. A for-loop is all that we need. Not much change, but much more powerful program!
# censureText.py # D. Thiebaut # This program opens two text files, # one containing lines of text, the other one # containing a list of words to remove, # and prints the contents of the first file # with words blocked out. def getMemo(): """gets the memo to be censured""" memo = [ "Please deliver 10 burgers and 1 bottle of ketchup", "Make it 20 burgers and a caisse of ketchup", "burgers and ketchup are the best food!" ] return memo def getBadWords(): """gets the word to block out""" badWords = [ "burger", "ketchup" ] return badWords def block( line, bad ): # create a word with 'x' the same length # as the bad word badx = "x" * len( bad ) # modify the line and replace bad with "xx...x" line = line.replace( bad, badx ) return line def blockAllWordsInOneLine( line, badWords ): """ gets one line and a list of bad words and blocks out all the bad words in the line. Returns the edited line. """ for bad in badWords: line = block( line, bad ) return line def main(): # get a line of text, and a bad word lines = getMemo( ) badWords = getBadWords( ) for line in lines: # modify line by removing the bad word line = blockAllWordsInOneLine( line, badWords ) # display the resulting line print( line ) main()
Please deliver 10 xxxxxxs and 1 bottle of xxxxxxx Make it 20 xxxxxxs and a caisse of xxxxxxx xxxxxxs and xxxxxxx are the best food!
Version 6
In this version we change the getMemo() function so that it gets the lines of the memo
from the file memo.txt. This file is already defined in the same directory where we
save our programs. For this example, memo.txt contains the following lines:
We need 10 tons of burgers and 1 ton of ketchup sent to the President before midnight.
# censureText.py # D. Thiebaut # This program opens two text files, # one containing lines of text, the other one # containing a list of words to remove, # and prints the contents of the first file # with words blocked out. def getMemo(): """gets the memo to be censured from the file memo.txt""" #memo = [ "Please deliver 10 burgers and 1 bottle of ketchup", # "Make it 20 burgers and a caisse of ketchup", # "burgers and ketchup are the best food!" ] # open the file for reading file = open( 'memo.txt', 'r' ) # add each line of the file to memo (list) memo = [] for line in file: memo.append( line.strip() ) # close the file file.close() # return the list of string read from the file return memo def getBadWords(): """gets the word to block out""" badWords = [ "burger", "ketchup" ] return badWords def block( line, bad ): # create a word with 'x' the same length # as the bad word badx = "x" * len( bad ) # modify the line and replace bad with "xx...x" line = line.replace( bad, badx ) return line def blockAllWordsInOneLine( line, badWords ): """ gets one line and a list of bad words and blocks out all the bad words in the line. Returns the edited line. """ for bad in badWords: line = block( line, bad ) return line def main(): # get a line of text, and a bad word lines = getMemo( ) badWords = getBadWords( ) for line in lines: # modify line by removing the bad word line = blockAllWordsInOneLine( line, badWords ) # display the resulting line print( line ) main()
- Output
We need 10 tons of xxxxxxs and 1 ton of xxxxxxx sent to the President before midnight.
Version 7
Since we were successful getting the lines from file for the memo, we are doing the same thing for the bad words.
The file badwords.txt contains the following words:
burger ketchup President

This file is taken from a news article published on 3/18/2018 about Facebook.
Lawmakers in the United States and Britain are calling on Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg to explain how the names, preferences and other information from tens of millions of users ended up in the hands of a data analysis firm connected with President Trump's 2016 campaign. The demands came in response to news reports Saturday about how the firm, Cambridge Analytica, used a feature once available to Facebook app developers to collect information on 270,000 people and, in the process, gain access to data on tens of millions of their Facebook friends few, if any, of whom had given explicit permission for this sharing.
