Extract Words from a file

Question

I open a file using python to find whether a predefined set of words are present in the opened file or not. I took the predefined set of words in a list and opened the file

Answer 1

You can do a few things

• Call file.readlines() and split the entire text on your desired delimiter if your text isn't large
• Call read() and do it bytes at a time
