How about mentioning the programming-language you're using, for example? This kind of question is kind of useless without you mentioning any of the underlying details.

make a string array, you can scan character by character and store them into a string, until you find a " " then you move to next string in the array, probably?

Here:

wordsFile = open('myfile.txt', 'r') 
words = wordsFile.readlines() 

# Strips whitespace from around the word and prints it
for word in words: 
    print("Word: {}".format(word.strip()))

I dont think what you say is possible, this is what my words look like:

after the list ends it returnss blank, how can I control this?

Check the length of the strip()ped word and only print it if it's longer than zero.

Alternatively, you can read the whole file in a string, and then use whatever function splits a string into an array of strings to separate the words. 

 

In php the function is called explode : 

 

<?php

// read the whole file into the variable $content

$content = file_get_contents('dictionary.txt');

// 0x0D and 0x0A are the two bytes (invisible characters) that form the 
// ENTER sequence. 
// CR (0x0D) is Carriage Return - return cursor to first character in line
// LF (0x0A) is Line Feed - advance cursor on next line
// Some editors only insert the LF character, so often it makes sense to split 
// only using that byte and then strip any CR byte from the end of words 

$words = explode( chr(0x0D).chr(0x0A) , $content);

// print all words 

foreach ($words as $word) {
	if (strlen($word)>0) echo $word . "\n";
}

?>

if you use list comprehension you don't get the  blank line

 

words = [line.strip() for line in open('payments.csv', 'r')]
for word in words:
  print(f'{word}')
