To write a python program for getting the word count from the contents of a file using command line arguments.
PC Anaconda - Python 3.7
Import the sys module.
Pass the filename as the first argument after the name of script. Open the file as sys.argv[1]
Read the file using read() method.
Use split() method to split the file content into words.
Use len() to find the total words.
Run the program to determine the number of words in the file created.

import sys
count= 0
with open(sys.argv[1],'r') as file:
for line in file:
word= line.split()
count += len(word)
print("program is developed: SATHISH.R")
print("word count in file = ",count)
Thus the program is written to find the word count from the contents of a file using command line arguments.
