Split and sort input file

[aawaleh]

Hi there, I need help with the following code. I am trying to sort the list but only getting the last sentence of the file sorted. What am I doing wrong?

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

fname = input("Enter file name: ") fh = open(fname) lst = list(fh) for line in lst:     line = line.rstrip()     print line     y = line.split()   k = y.sort() print y

lines 9 and 10 are not part of the for loop, so the sort is only being performed on the final line. Indent them properly and it will work.

Thanks TomToad, I should rstrip and split in the loop and than sort the list. I think I should append the list in the loop before sorting it.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

fname = input("Enter file name: ") fh = open(fname) lst = list(fh) for line in lst:     line = line.rstrip()     print line     y = line.split()     I = lst.append()    k = y.sort() print y

I will appreciate if anyone has a fix for my code...

Thanks to all those who viewed my code. I have managed to fix the error and outputted the excepted results. This is how the code should be to output the words in the list in alphabetical order.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

name = input('Enter file: ') handle = open(name, 'r') wordlist = list() for line in handle:     words = line.split()     for word in words:         if word in wordlist: continue         wordlist.append(word)   wordlist.sort() print(wordlist)
