[Solved] Split text into chapters and store it in txt files [closed]

by


This Works for me:

import re
book = open("book.txt", "r") #Here we open the book, in this case it is called book.txt
book = str(book.read()) #this is now assigning book the value of book.txt, not just the location
chapters = re.split("Chapter ", book, flags = re.IGNORECASE) #Finds all the chapter markers in the book and makes a list of all the chapters
chapters.pop(0) # Removes the first item in list as this is ""
for i in range(1, len(chapters)+1): #Loops for the number of chapters in the book, starting at chapter 1
    writeBook = open("{}.txt".format(i), "w+") #Opens a book with the name of i, if it does not exist, it creates one
    writeBook.write(chapters[i-1]) #Overwrites what is written in the book with the same chapter in the list
    writeBook.close() #Finally, it closes the text file

Please Note: this will not work with a book that has a prologue as it will just remove them from the list of chapters.
