Parsing word list in python -

-

i have wlist.txt file of 58k words of english language, small excerpt of looks :

aardvark aardwolf aaron aback abacus abaft abalone abandon abandoned abandonment abandons abase abased abasement

what have program search through list , see if word contained in list, , if print word. issue code have written return no, word not in list, when know sure is. code looks this, notice bugs?

match = 'aardvark' f = 'wlist.txt' success = false try:     word in open(f):         if word == match:             success = true             break except ioerror:     print f, "not found!" if success:     print "the word has been found value of", word else:     print "word not found"

thanks in advance everyone!!

as others have said, problem stems fact newline characters part of words reading in. best way rid of these use strip() method of str.

in addition, code accomplish simple task. need build set word list , occurrence of word in set. set far better task list because checking occurrence of element in set much faster. should work.

try:     open('wordlist.txt', 'ru') infile:         wordset = set(line.strip() line in infile) except ioerror:        print 'error opening file'  aword = 'aardvark'  if aword in wordset:     print 'found word', aword else:     print 'word not found'

note: if aword in wordset so faster isn't funny. if you're looking word closer end of word list, set 60000 times faster 267000 word list. , it's still marginally faster even if you're looking first word.

how set z-index drawing object when using drawingcontext.drawxxx() methods? the object drawn last have higher z index. can't change index of drawn objects. way draw in order. if using wpf (as placed tag), can use, example, canvas control. create shapes need like polyline obj = new polyline(); //... // ... set properties of obj and add them canvas uielementcollection: yourcanvasname.children.add(obj); //or yourcanvasname.children.insert(i, obj); first items of collection have higher z index. advantages in way: no need redraw on window changes, can anytime move objects , change order.

i think may have found bug in webmatrix's pagedata, not sure. concerns how pass data partial page calling page. in webmatrix documentation (tutorials, e.g. " 3 - creating consistent look ", , example code), pagedata recommended mechanism pass data between pages (e.g. content page layout page, or partial page). however have found not work other way, pass data partial page calling page. modifying or adding entries in pagedata in partial page, not seem calling page. cutting right down simplest possible example, in test page may have this: @{ pagedata["test"] = "initial entry"; } <p>before calling partial page, test value @pagedata["test"]</p> @renderpage("_testpartial.cshtml") <p>after returning calling page, test value @pagedata["test"]</p> and in _testpartial.cshtml page might have this: @{ pagedata["test"] = "modified entry"; } <p>in partial page...
