I have a text file and I want to display all words that contains both z and x characters.

How can I do that ?

    Sounds like a job for Regular Expressions. Read that and try it out. If you run into problems, update your question and we can help you with the specifics.

    >>> import re
    >>> print re.findall('(\w*x\w*z\w*|\w*z\w*x\w*)', 'axbzc azb axb abc axzb')
    ['axbzc', 'axzb']

    I just want to point out how heavy-handed some of these regular expressions can be, in comparison to the simple string methods-based solution provided by Wooble.

    Let's do some timings, shall we?

    #!/usr/bin/env python
    # -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-
    
    import timeit
    import re
    import sys
    
    WORD_RE_COMPILED = re.compile(r'\w+')
    Z_RE_COMPILED = re.compile(r'(\b\w*z\w*\b)')
    XZ_RE_COMPILED = re.compile(r'\b(\w*z\w*x\w*|\w*x\w*z\w*)\b')

    Running this script on a plaintext copy of Moby Dick obtained from Project Gutenberg, on Python 2.6, I get the following timings:

    xz_re_word_find: 1.21829485893 seconds
    xz_re_word_compiled_find: 1.42398715019 seconds
    xz_re_word_precompiled_find: 1.40110301971 seconds
    xz_re_z_find: 0.680151939392 seconds
    xz_re_z_compiled_find: 0.673038005829 seconds
    xz_re_z_precompiled_find: 0.673489093781 seconds
    xz_re_xz_find: 1.11700701714 seconds
    xz_re_xz_compiled_find: 1.12773990631 seconds
    xz_re_xz_precompiled_find: 1.13285303116 seconds
    xz_str_find: 0.590088844299 seconds
    

    In Python 3.1 (after using 2to3 to fix the print statements), I get the following timings:

    xz_re_word_find: 2.36110496521 seconds
    xz_re_word_compiled_find: 2.34727501869 seconds
    xz_re_word_precompiled_find: 2.32607793808 seconds
    xz_re_z_find: 1.32204890251 seconds
    xz_re_z_compiled_find: 1.34104800224 seconds
    xz_re_z_precompiled_find: 1.34424304962 seconds
    xz_re_xz_find: 2.33851099014 seconds
    xz_re_xz_compiled_find: 2.29653286934 seconds
    xz_re_xz_precompiled_find: 2.32416701317 seconds
    xz_str_find: 0.656699895859 seconds
    

    We can see that the regular expression-based functions tend to take twice as long to run as the string methods-based function in Python 2.6, and over 3 times as long in Python 3. The time difference is trivial for one-off parsing (nobody's going to miss those milliseconds), but for cases where the function must be called many times, the string methods-based approach is both simpler and faster.

    Assuming you have the entire file as one large string in memory, and that the definition of a word is "a contiguous sequence of letters", then you could do something like this:

    import re
    for word in re.findall(r"\w+", mystring):
        if 'x' in word and 'z' in word:
            print word

    >>> import re
    >>> pattern = re.compile('\b(\w*z\w*x\w*|\w*x\w*z\w*)\b')
    >>> document = '''Here is some data that needs
    ... to be searched for words that contain both z
    ... and x.  Blah xz zx blah jal akle asdke asdxskz
    ... zlkxlk blah bleh foo bar'''
    >>> print pattern.findall(document)
    ['xz', 'zx', 'asdxskz', 'zlkxlk']

    If you don't want to have 2 problems:

    for word in file('myfile.txt').read().split():
        if 'x' in word and 'z' in word:
            print word
