![8.11 LAB: Processing Text Files
In this exercise, you will build a program to process files containing paragraphs. The aim of the program is to simply count the number
of words and compute their length. The file, however, may contain numbers (e.g. "2018") and contains punctuation that should be
ignored.
There are two data files that you will use to test your program: shortpar.txt and cassini.txt.
(1) Prompt the user to enter the name of a file. Store the text in a string and output the name of the file. (4 pts)
You should prompt the user for the name of the file:
Enter name of file:
shortpar.txt
File to be processed is:
shortpar.txt
(2) Now create the program to read the lines of the file, split each line into words, count the words and total their length. You should
skip any numbers that are in the file and strip any punctuation from the words. Consider the following characters as punctuation ,
: : ? ! \ " (). Some of the words in the files may contain apostrophes (') but ignore them for this part of the exercise. For
example, "NASA's" would be counted as a single word of length 6. You should print out the number of words and their average
length. (8 pts).
For the file shortpar.txt, the output would be:
Enter name of file:
shortpar.txt
File to be processed is:
shortpar.txt
The number of words is:
The average length of a word is:
