Python program to read file word by word

Prerequisites: File Handling in Python

Given a text file and the task is to read the information from file word by word in Python.

Examples:

Input:
I am R2J!
Output:
I
am
R2J!

Input:
Geeks 4 Geeks
And in that dream, we were flying.
Output:
Geeks
4
Geeks
And
in
that
dream,
we
were
flying.

Approach:

1. Open a file in read mode which contains a string.
2. Use for loop to read each line from the text file.
3. Again use for loop to read each word from the line splitted by ‘ ‘.
4. Display each word from each line in the text file.

Example 1: Let’s suppose the text file looks like this –

Text File:

# Python program to read
# file word by word

# opening the text file
with open('GFG.txt','r') as file:

    # reading each line
    for line in file:

        # reading each word
        for word in line.split():

            # displaying the words
            print(word)

Output:

Geeks
4
geeks

Example 2: Let’s suppose the text file contains more than one line.

Text file:

# Python program to read
# file word by word

# opening the text file
with open('GFG.txt','r') as file:

    # reading each line
    for line in file:

        # reading each word
        for word in line.split():

            # displaying the words
            print(word)

Output:

Geeks
4
Geeks
And
in
that
dream,
we
were
flying.
