How to Read Multiple Files in a Loop in Python and get count of matching words - python-3.x

Question

I have two text files and 2 lists (FIRST_LIST,SCND_LIST),i want to find out count of each file matching words from FIRST_LIST,SCND_LIST individually.
FIRST_LIST =
"accessorizes","accessorizing","accessorized","accessorize"
SCND_LIST=
"accessorize","accessorized","accessorizes","accessorizing"
text File1 contains:
This is a very good question, and you have received good answers which describe interesting topics accessorized accessorize.
text File2 contains:
is more applied,using accessorize accessorized,accessorizes,accessorizing
output
File1 first list count=2
File1 second list count=0
File2 first list count=0
File2 second list count=4
This code i have tried to achive this functionality but not able to get the expected output.
if any help appreciated
import os
import glob
files=[]
for filename in glob.glob("*.txt"):
files.append(filename)
# remove Punctuations
import re
def remove_punctuation(line):
return re.sub(r'[^\w\s]', '', line)
two_files=[]
for filename in files:
for line in open(filename):
#two_files.append(remove_punctuation(line))
print(remove_punctuation(line),end='')
two_files.append(remove_punctuation(line))
FIRST_LIST = "accessorizes","accessorizing","accessorized","accessorize"
SCND_LIST="accessorize","accessorized","accessorizes","accessorizing"
c=[]
for match in FIRST_LIST:
if any(match in value for value in two_files):
#c=match+1
print (match)
c.append(match)
print(c)
len(c)
d=[]
for match in SCND_LIST:
if any(match in value for value in two_files):
#c=match+1
print (match)
d.append(match)
print(d)
len(d)

Using Counter and some list comprehension is one of many different approaches to solve your problem.
I assume, your sample output being wrong since some words are part of both lists and both files but are not counted. In addition I added a second line to the sample strings in order to show how that is working with multi-line strings which might be the typical contents of a given file.
io.StringIO objects emulate your files, but working with real files from your file system works exactly the same since both provide a file-like object or file-like interface:
from collections import Counter
list_a = ["accessorizes", "accessorizing", "accessorized", "accessorize"]
list_b = ["accessorize", "accessorized", "accessorizes", "accessorizing"]
# added a second line to each string just for the sake
file_contents_a = 'This is a very good question, and you have received good answers which describe interesting topics accessorized accessorize.\nThis is the second line in file a'
file_contents_b = 'is more applied,using accessorize accessorized,accessorizes,accessorizing\nThis is the second line in file b'
# using io.StringIO to simulate a file input (--> file-like object)
# you should use `with open(filename) as ...` for real file input
file_like_a = io.StringIO(file_contents_a)
file_like_b = io.StringIO(file_contents_b)
# read file contents and split lines into a list of strings
lines_of_file_a = file_like_a.read().splitlines()
lines_of_file_b = file_like_b.read().splitlines()
# iterate through all lines of each file (for file a here)
for line_number, line in enumerate(lines_of_file_a):
words = line.replace('.', ' ').replace(',', ' ').split(' ')
c = Counter(words)
in_list_a = sum([v for k,v in c.items() if k in list_a])
in_list_b = sum([v for k,v in c.items() if k in list_b])
print("Line {}".format(line_number))
print("- in list a {}".format(in_list_a))
print("- in list b {}".format(in_list_b))
# iterate through all lines of each file (for file b here)
for line_number, line in enumerate(lines_of_file_b):
words = line.replace('.', ' ').replace(',', ' ').split(' ')
c = Counter(words)
in_list_a = sum([v for k,v in c.items() if k in list_a])
in_list_b = sum([v for k,v in c.items() if k in list_b])
print("Line {}".format(line_number))
print("- in list a {}".format(in_list_a))
print("- in list b {}".format(in_list_b))
# actually, your two lists are the same
lists_are_equal = sorted(list_a) == sorted(list_b)
print(lists_are_equal)
