make_wordlist

Make a wordlist file of unique words from any input text file

A simple python script to create a wordlist from any text file, such as the custom wordlists used in the csecht/passphrase-generate repository.

Before running parser.py, the user cuts-and-pastes any source text into the default file, parse_this.txt. Running the script provides terminal standout for numbers of words and writes unique words to a default, newline-delimited, utf-8 encoded, text file, now_parsed.txt. The folder SourceTexts contains examples of text file sources to cut-and-paste into parse_this.txt

Source files used for the csecht/passphrase-generate repository are provided in the SourceTexts directory as examples of source texts; they are not required to run the script.

parser.py was written with PyCharm using a Python 3.8 interpreter.

Notes

• Hyphenated words in the source text will be split into component words.
• Roman numerals, e.g. VIII, DXXIII, will be included as words if present in the source text.
• Only words 3 letters or longer are included in the results file, now_parsed.txt.
• The file now_parsed.txt is overwritten each time parser.py is run.
