Word_Counter

Build Status Coverage Status HitCount

This is the first homework of the course "Python in the Enterprise", as requested is implemented a personal version of famous Linux "wc" command, that can be used to provide a total of the number of row, total of the number of words and total of the number of character which are in a input text.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

  • In order to run this project is important to use python version 3 or upper.
    Install it with: 
     $ sudo apt-get install python3
    now check your version: 
    $ python --version

Basic usage

  • This project is developed to emulate Linux "wc" (Linux Word Counter)
    The syntax of word counter is the follow:

     $ python3 wc.py <Your_File> -option

  • It is possible to count total number of row in file, adding option "-r"

    $ python3 wc.py <Your_File> -r

  • It is possible to count total number of word in file, adding option "-w"

    $ python3 wc.py <Your_File> -w

  • It is possible to count total number of character in file, adding option "-c"

    $ python3 wc.py <Your_File> -c

  • It is possible to compute at same time all statistic, without options

    $ python3 wc.py <Your_File>

  • It is possible to compute the input text that user insert by keyboard, if no text file is specified

    $ python3 wc.py

Results

Personal word counter reveals good performance also with quite large file.

  • output of computation with file almost 2GB
