Python - Limit Sentence Length to 10 Words - Text file - dj99 - Jul-21-2018
I am trying to limit each sentence to 10 words
file = open("a.txt","r")
content = file.read()
file.close()
file_out = open("out.txt","w+")
for i in range(len(content)):
file_out.write(content[i])
if (i + 1).join(i.split()[:10]):
file_out.write('\n')
file_out.close()what would be the correct syntax?

Try to use the context manage
with when manipulate files.Check if this is what you want:
with open("a.txt", "r") as f_in:
with open("out.txt", "w+") as f_out:
for line in f_in:
words = line.split(' ')[:10]
f_out.write(' '.join(words) + '\n')
