##f = open ("data.txt", "r")
##lines = f.readlines()
##print lines


count = {}
for word in sorted(data.split()):
    if word in count:
        count[word] += 1


    else:
        count[word] = 1
print count

How can I read from data.txt?

data=open("data.txt").read()

Thanks slate,it work fine.
Now Ineed sort alphabetical,count and remove punctuation marks from text file?

How can I read from data.txt?

This is in every tutotial/book out there,so it should not be a problem.
I try to always use with open(),this is the prefered way(with statement has been in Python since 2006)
One short way.

import re
from collections import Counter

with open('your.txt') as f:
    no_punct = re.findall(r'\w+', f.read())
print Counter(no_punct)

remove punctuation marks from text file?

Without regex.

>>> from string import punctuation
>>> s = 'We@.._ love the?# pytho,..,n progr"""ammi@"ng'
>>> text = ''.join(c for c in s if c not in punctuation)
>>> text
'We love the python programming'

Thanks snippsat for you help.
