Unscramble script

[Wictorian]

SO I wrote a scripy ni python to unscramble scrambled words. It doesn't give errors but it does nothing.

I typed english words on google and got 58000 words. I pasted them into a txt file(myfile.txt). And check if input is one of the words.

here is the code:

wordsFile = open('myfile.txt', 'r') 
while(True):
	scrambledWord = input()
	while(True):
		words = wordsFile.readlines() 
		if len(scrambledWord) == len(words):
			for i in range(len(words)):
				wordsList.append(words[i])
				scrambledList.append(scrambledWord[i])
				wordsList.sort()
				scrambledList.sort()
				if wordsList == scrambledList:
					print(wordsList)
					break

There are a couple of problems. First you should only call readlines() once, so move that out of the while loops. The first time it will give a list of lines in the text file, but the second and subsequent calls will return an empty list.

 

Second

if len(scrambledWord) == len(words):

 checks if the length of the word you input is equal to the length of the entire list of words you have in your text file. Unless I misunderstand that you are not inputting just one word into scambledWord, that's unlikely to ever be true if you feed it 58000 words in a file and is also never true as you call readlines multiple times and are hence comparing to a length of 0.

OH ı Totally misunderstood readlines() then. How can I check one line at a time?

when I print words at the end of the strings there is \n. how can I delete this? Now I edited it as you said but it still doesnt work and I think that may be the problem. I am also adding the new code.

a = -1
wordsList = []
scrambledList =[]
wordsFile = open('myfile.txt', 'r')
words = wordsFile.readlines()
print(words)
while(True):
	scrambledWord = input()
	while(True):
		a += 1
		word = words[a] 
		if len(scrambledWord) == len(word):
			for i in range(len(word)):
				wordsList.append(word[i])
				scrambledList.append(scrambledWord[i])
		wordsList.sort()
		scrambledList.sort()
		if wordsList == scrambledList:
			break

You can call the strip() method (strips whitespace and characters like newline) of the string or use read().splitlines() instead of readlines().

Have a look at iterating over lists using e.g. for loops.
