Hello Neha,
I think this script will do what you want and will also fix some of the
issues in your original code -
--------------------------------------------------------
1 #! /usr/bin/python
2
3 import curses.ascii
4 import string
5 import sys
6
7 with open(sys.argv[1],'r') as input:
8 for eachline in input:
9 eachline = eachline.strip('\n')
10 if curses.ascii.isalpha(eachline[0]):
11 first_char = ''
12 else:
13 first_char = eachline[0]
14 last_char = eachline[len(eachline)-1]
15 eachline = eachline.lstrip(first_char)
16 eachline = eachline.rstrip(last_char)
17 words = eachline.split(' ')
18 outline = first_char
19 for word in reversed(words):
20 outline = outline + str(word) + ' '
21 outline = outline.rstrip() + last_char + '\n'
22 print outline
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is much more explicit. It considers some special cases and gives the
output in the format desired by you.
Regards,
SWP
