Answer 2

try something like:-
for word in in_file.read().split():
for symbol in special:
if symbol in word:
blah blah blah

Answer 3

Because you are looking for special string in whole. You must treat those characters separately.

Answer 4

so lets say ...
text = “i love becon, and becom loves me”
how can i have get the word “becon,” into the outfile ?

Answer 5

msg = "Hello world!"
file = open("newfile.txt", "w")
amount_written = file.write(msg)
print(amount_written)
file.close()
How does this return 12?
I am so lost right now.
