In Python, Searching A Text File For Multiple Words And Printing The Corresponding Lines

I have a list of sentences I would like to search. I want to print the lines that contain my search words. This code works: fruit_list = open('fruitlist.txt') for line in fruit_lis

Solution 1:

Try this:

fruit_list = open('fruitlist.txt')

search_words = ['apple', 'banana', 'orange', 'lemon']

for line in fruit_list:
    if any(word in line for word in search_words):
        print(line)

Solution 2:

# with Regular Expression 
import re

fruit_list = open('test.txt')
search_words = ['apple', 'banana', 'orange', 'lemon']

patten = re.compile("(.*(apple|banana|orange|lemon)(.*))")

for i in [re.search(patten,line).groups() for line  in      fruit_list  if re.search(patten,line) != None]: print(i)
