When I got the number of how many times of the words, I wanted to save the output to a txt file. But when I used the following code, only counts appeared in the output file. Anyone knows the problem here?
Thank you very much!
My code: (part)
d = c.split() # make a string into a list of words
#print d
counts = Counter(d) # count the words
print(counts)
import sys
sys.stdout = open("C:/Users/Administrator/Desktop/out.txt", "w")
print 'counts'
Working as intended as python is a dynamic language and everything as it was during runtime. So in order to capture everything you will have to redirect your stdout at the begging of your script.
import sys
sys.stdout = open("C:/Users/Administrator/Desktop/out.txt", "w")
d = c.split() # make a string into a list of words
#print d
counts = Counter(d) # count the words
print(counts)
print 'counts'
import sys
from collections import Counter
c = "When I got the number of how many times of the words"
d = c.split() # make a string into a list of words
counts = Counter(d) # count the words
sys.stdout = open("C:/Users/Administrator/Desktop/out.txt", "w")
print(str(len(d)) + ' words') #this shows the number of total words
for i in counts:
print(str(i), str(counts[i]) + ' counts')
With te result in out.txt
12 words
When 1 counts
got 1 counts
many 1 counts
times 1 counts
the 2 counts
words 1 counts
I 1 counts
number 1 counts
how 1 counts
of 2 counts
out.txt the total number of words.import sys
d = c.split() # make a string into a list of words
#print d
counts = Counter(d) # count the words
sys.stdout = open("C:/Users/Administrator/Desktop/out.txt", "w")
print(counts)
print 'counts'
print prints to stdout. You need to redirrect stdout to the file before printing the number of counts.
Another, slightly nicer option, would be to use some of the newer Python features:
from __future__ import print_function
with open(r'c:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\out.txt', 'w') as f:
d = c.split() # make a string into a list of words
#print(d, file=f)
counts = Counter(d) # count the words
print(counts, file=f)
print('counts', file=f)
Alternatively, you could use the logging module:
import logging
logger = logging.getLogger('mylogger')
logger.addHandler(logging.FileHandler(filename=r'c:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\out.txt'))
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
wordlist = c.split()
logger.debug('Wordlist: %s', wordlist)
logger.debug('Counting words..')
counts = Counter(wordlist)
logger.debug('Counts: %s', counts)
As it appears you're on Windows, you can use the incredibly useful baretail application to watch your log as your program executes.
print 'counts ', countsinstead?
