Python Forum

Hi - I'm going to preface this by saying that I have VERY little coding experience, and am cobbling a topic modeling program for a paper I'm writing. I successfully ran the code last week, with no errors. I tried to run it again today and I'm getting the following:

file_content = open("nippur-input.txt").read()
tokens = nltk.word_tokenize(file_content)
print (tokens)

OSError Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-2-5dd1937bcad9> in <module>()
1 #tokenize
----> 2 file_content = open("nippur-input.txt").read()
3 tokens = nltk.word_tokenize(file_content)
4 print (tokens)

OSError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument

Any ideas on how I should fix this?
If I remove the "" I get :
NameError: name 'nippur' is not defined

I'm sorry if I'm not providing enough information!

ETA: I run a macOS, and I use python through a jupyter notebook, if that is relevant.

Ok,

you are not showing enough code
do you have import nltk ?
There must be more than these three lines.
It is always helpful, (and requested) that snippets of code be complete enough to run.

possibly, since in jupyter the last time you ran, you may have executed portions of code that you missed this time.
Try clicking the >| run button which will execute all code in sequence.

Thank you - I went back and checked the input file and it had corrupted. I switched it out and it's working now.
I will post all of the code next time, thank you!
