For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training. We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.
Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!
I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here)) |
Counting Words in Python via the web
I love writing things in Python - it's a great language for achieving a great deal in a short time. And it works well got Simple CGI scripts.
Today's challenge - to count the number of words (and number of DIFFERENT words) in a piece of text, so give an idea of how much work would be involved in translating it.
Web page onto which to paste the text is here. Source code of the script is here. Source code of the Python program is here.
A word of warning - I have taken great care NOT to echo all the text (protects me against injection attacks) - and you need to do the same on your pages. If you're not sure what I mean, read this blog further or I'll tell you more on the Python Course. (written 2009-08-18, updated 2009-08-19)
