    <p>I've written a short program will take an input file, remove punctuation, sort the contents by number of occurrences per word and then write the 100 most common results to an output file.</p> <p>I had some trouble on the last part (writing the results to an output file), and though I've fixed it, I don't know what the problem was.</p> <p>The full code looks like so:</p> <pre><code>from collections import Counter from itertools import chain import sys import string wordList = [] #this file contains text from a number of reviews file1 = open('reviewfile', 'r+') reviewWords = file1.read().lower() #this file contains a list of the 1000 most common English words file2 = open('commonwordsfile', 'r') commonWords = file2.read().lower() #remove punctuation for char in string.punctuation: reviewWords = reviewWords.replace(char, " ") #create a list of individual words from file1 splitWords = reviewWords.split() for w in splitWords: if w not in commonWords and len(w)&gt;2: wordList.append(w) #sort the resulting list by length wordList = sorted(wordList, key=len) #return a list containing the 100 #most common words and number of occurrences words_to_count = (word for word in wordList) c = Counter(words_to_count) commonHundred = c.most_common(100) #create new file for results and write #the 100 most common words to it fileHandle = open("outcome", 'w' ) for listItem in commonHundred: fileHandle.write (str(listItem) + "\n") fileHandle.close() </code></pre> <p>I previously had this following code snippet attempting to write the 100 most common terms to a .txt file, but it didn't work. Can anyone explain why not?</p> <pre><code>makeFile = open("outputfile", "w") for item in CommonHundred: makeFile.write("[0]\n".format(item)) makeFile.close() </code></pre>

    2. COThe code snippet I've put at the end. I originally tried this method of writing to the output file but it just produced an empty file.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
