[Tutor] Reading elements in a file

[Greg Christian]

Python version = 2.7.1
Platform = win32

I am kind of stuck on what is probably a simple thing:

If we have a file of words like this: “first”,”word”,”in”,”that”,”another”,”part”,”of”,”this”

f = open('words.txt', "r")
    words = f.read()

will read the whole file, is there a way to read just the words: first word in that another part of this

I guess I have to separate on the “,” but I am not quite sure how to go about this.

Any input would be appreciated.

Regards,

Greg
