I have a text file say storyfile.txt

Content in storyfile.txt is as

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe

I have another file- hashfile.txt that contains some words separated by comma(,)


Content of hashfile.txt is:

All,mimsy,were,the,borogoves,raths,outgrabe

My objective

My objective is to

1. Read hashfile.txt


2. Insert Hashtag on each of the comma separated word


3. Read storyfile.txt . Search for same words as in hashtag.txt and add hashtag on these words.


4. Update storyfile.txt with words that are hash-tagged

My Python code so far

import in_place

hashfile = open('hashfile.txt', 'w+')
n1 = hashfile.read().rstrip('n')
print(n1)

checkWords = n1.split(',')
print(checkWords)

repWords = ["#"+i for i in checkWords]
print(repWords)
hashfile.close()

with in_place.InPlace('storyfile.txt') as file:
 for line in file:
 for check, rep in zip(checkWords, repWords):
 line = line.replace(check, rep)
 file.write(line)

The output

Why is this kind of output is coming?
Why the last sentence has no newlines in it?
Where I am wrong?

The output

The current working code for single text

import in_place

with in_place.InPlace('somefile.txt') as file:
 for line in file:
 line = line.replace('mome', 'testZ')
 file.write(line)

Look if this helps. This fulfills the objective that you mentioned, though I have not used the in_place module.

hash_list = 
with open("hashfile.txt", 'r') as f:
 for i in f.readlines():
 for j in i.split(","):
 hash_list.append(j.strip())
with open("storyfile.txt", "r") as f:
 for i in f.readlines():
 for j in hash_list:
 i = i.replace(j, "#"+j)
 print(i)

Let me know if you require further clarification on the same.
