I'm writing a spellchecking program, how do I replace ch in a string?
- by Ajay Hopkins
What am I doing wrong/what can I do?
import sys
import string
def remove(file):
punctuation = string.punctuation
for ch in file:
if len(ch) > 1:
print('error - ch is larger than 1 --| {0} |--'.format(ch))
if ch in punctuation:
ch = ' '
return ch
else:
return ch
ref = (open("ref.txt","r"))
test_file = (open("test.txt", "r"))
dictionary = ref.read().split()
file = test_file.read().lower()
file = remove(file)
print(file)
This is in Python 3.1.2
