Word Definer

This project is made by Anish Govind. Other projects can be found at my GitHub. Huge thank you to the contributors of this api because it handles the dictionary required for this script

Project Description

This is a script designed to generate a text file of definitions of a given input text file of words to define.

The Why behind this Project

I recently got assigned the task of defining 60+ words in my English class. Instead of googling each one and copy and pasting, I decided it would be more efficient to use a script. It only took me 45 minutes to make and functional to the point where I liked it. Now, for any future assignments that require me to do something similar, I can just use this script again!

Getting Started

Clone this repo (for help see this tutorial).
Install dependency "requests" (pip install requests or see here)
Create an input file that follows the following rules:
- Words should be on different lines (newline seperated).
- Having numbers to denote what word you are on should end in a period. (More endings to come later)
- Odd spacing doesn't matter unless its in the word.
- Capitalization doesn't matter.
Example input file:
```
1. Ambivalent
3. Hello
World
1231251161. nIcE
```
python ~/PATH/TO/REPO/main.py input.txt output.txt
Wait for the script to say DONE.
Open output.txt however you feel is best.

Note: Larger input files means you'll have to wait longer for the definitions.

Features/To-Do:

Take an input file.
Produce an output file of definitions.
Ignore some definitions based on user input.
