You can do something like below (untested). The below also includes
white space and punctiation. If you want to exclude those use strip().
-----
filename = "/Users/meitalamitai/Documents/Computer
Science/Python/Homework/Lorem_Ipsum.py"
file = open(filename, "r") # Explicitely open the file readonly
lines = file.split() # Split the file into a list so we can use len()
on it and iterate over the lines
linecount = len(lines) # Get the number of lines
totalcharcount = 0 # Set initial total count to zero
count = 1 # Starting count at one
print "The file has %s lines" % linecount
for line in lines:
charcount = len(line) # Get character count
print "Line %s has %s character (including punctuation and white
space)." % (count, charcount)
totalcharcount += charcount #Add the charcount to the total charcount
print "The total file character count is %s" % totallinecount
-----
Hope this helps.
