str object has no attribute read

Question

hi,

I'm parsing a string type to my stopword removing statement and I get this error 'str' object has no attribute 'read'. why?

def stopWordRemove(token_data):
  stopword = file_name
  ar_list = stopword.read().split('\n')
  needed_word = []
  word = word_tokenize(token_data)
  for w in words:
    if w not in (ar_list):
      needed_word.append(w)
  filterd_sentence = ' '.join(needed_word)
  return filterd_sentence
  print (ar_list)
print(stopWordRemove("احسن من ترحال"))

Hi@zena,

In the below section you are trying to pass string but sting has no attribute read. 

stopword = file_name 
ar_list = stopword.read().split('\n')

So if you are trying to read data from a file then you can use the open function as given below.

stopword=open('file_name',"r")
ar_list = stopword.read().split('\n')
