How to fix 'str' object has no attribute 'read' in my python3 script [duplicate]

Question

How can I fix AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'read' error in my python3 script.

user = input("Enter your word : ")
script = open('wordlist.txt', "r")

for s in script:
    content = s.read()
    if user in content:
        print("Match")
    else:
        print("Not match")

read() is a files' method but you call it on s which is a string representing each row of the file. Either change to if user in s in the loop or simply if user in script.read() — Tomerikoo

Try checking for the whole file at once

user = input("Enter your word : ")
script = open('wordlist.txt', "r")

if user in script.read():
    print("Match")
else:
    print("Not match")

Try changing the 'if user in content:' to 'if s in content'. Otherwise it's quite unclear what you are trying to do here.

@Dave please try to do some basic research. This is such a common problem in Python with literally thousands of resources online. You have one link above that should help you

@Tomerikoo then he might as well do 'if user in script.readlines():' right?
