Extract Strings From Text File - Out Put Results to Individual Files
#1
Hi friends,

:)

im a python newbie.

I am trying to extract lines from my input file. Output the result to individual files


import os
	
	
Words=['Pear','Cherry']
	
input_file="c:/Users/Dan/Desktop/Python/Phrases.txt"

	
	
with open(input_file,'r') as inFile:
	    
	 text = inFile.read()
	 sentences = text.split(".")
	
	 for s in Words:
	  with open("%s.txt" % s, "w") as f:
	    for sentence in sentences:
	        if (any(map(lambda word: word in sentence, Words))):
	          f.write(sentence + '\n')
	


the first file results were ok. it extracted the sentences with pear in it

but the next file results - it simply out put the original phrase file.

I am not very experienced and have tried multiple things regarding outputting the results

if some one can take a look at this i would be grateful

I hope i worded my first post correctly

thank you for your time
