Append wildcard results to a list in python

Please forgive me I am teaching myself and am pretty new to this. I have searched and found nothing that addressed my issue, lots of things dealing with os and file directories but I couldn't figure out how to implement them here. I also am not super familiar with regex, and have tried implementing that as well but kept getting errors.
So I have a large text file (9GB) that is actually a list of discussion board posts.
I have a list of words I want to add to the stoplist for topic modeling. (I can do that)
However I also want to add any term that ends with any of the words in my list.
A sample of my data and lists is below.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

You can use the fnmatch built in library.
For example, if you want to find all the words in your text that ends with 'thispattern', you can do it like this:
import fnmatch
txt = ["longerthepattern is the word i want", "thisisthepattern and it works"]
pattern = '*thepattern'
to_add_to_stoplist = []
for sentence in txt:
filters = fnmatch.filter(sentence.split(" "),pattern)
to_add_to_stoplist += filters
And it outputs:
['longerthepattern', 'thisisthepattern']
You can add this list of words to the stopwords.
EDIT:
Here is a version using for comprehensions to analyze multiple patterns. It no longer uses fnmatch and uses the str.endswith function.
Note that it requires the patterns to be a tuple, and not a list.
txt = ["longerthepattern removeme is the word i want", "thisisthepattern and it works"]
patterns = ("pattern","veme")
def my_func(sentence):
return [x for x in sentence.split(" ") if x.lower().endswith(patterns)]
to_add_to_stop = [word for sentence in txt for word in my_func(sentence) ]
It outputs:
['longerthepattern', 'removeme', 'thisisthepattern']
SECOND EDIT:
I added the .lower() fonction in the for comprehension to ensure that the words we are comparing with the patterns are all lowercase since the patterns are lowercase as well.

CORAM: HONOURABLE MR.JUSTICE R.P.DHOLARIA
Date : 12/03/2019
ORAL JUDGMENT
1. The appellant State of Gujarat has
preferred the present appeal under section 378(1)
(3) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973
against the judgment and order of acquittal dated
Page 1 of 12
R/CR.A/251/2009 JUDGMENT
17.11.2008 rendered by learned 2nd Additional
Civil Judge and Judicial Magistrate, First Class,
Nadiad in Food Case No.1 of 2007.
The short facts giving rise to the
present appeal are that on 10.11.2006 at about
18.00 hours, the complainant visited the place of
the respondent accused situated at Juna
Makhanpura, Rabarivad, Nadiad along with panch
witness and the respondent was found dealing in
provisional items. The complainant identified
himself as a Food Inspector and after giving
intimation in Form No.6 has purchased muddamal
sample of mustard seeds in the presence of the
panchas for the purpose of analysis. Thereafter,
the complainant Food Inspector has divided the
said sample in equal three parts and after
completing formalities of packing and sealing
obtained signatures of the vendor and panchas and
out of the said three parts, one part was sent to
the Public Analyst, Vadodara for analysis and
remaining two parts were sent to the Local Health
Authority, Gandhinagar. Thereafter, the Public
Analyst forwarded his report. In the said report,
it is stated that the muddamal sample of mustard
seeds is misbranded which is in breach of the
provisions of the Food Adulteration Act, 1954
(for short “the Act”) and the Rules framed
thereunder. It is alleged that, therefore, the
sample of mustard seeds was misbranded and,
thereby, the accused has committed the offence.

R/CR.A/251/2009* JUDGMENT*
Hence, the complaint came to be lodged against
the respondent accused.
I want to be able to write a program such that it follows the given constraints. Be wary of the fact that this is only a single file i have like 40k files and it should run on all the files. All the files have some difference but the basic format for every file is the same.
Constraints.
It should start the text extraction process from after the "metadata" . Metadata is the data about the file from the starting of the file i.e " In the high court of gujarat" till Oral Judgment. In all the files i have , there are various POINTS after the string ends. So i need all these points as a separate paragraph ( see the text has 2 points , i need it in different paragraphs ).
Check the lines in italics, these are the panes in the text/pdf file. I need to remove these as these donot have any meaning to the text content i want.
These files are both available in TEXT or PDF format so i can use either. But i am new to python so i dont know how and where to start. I just have basic knowledge in python.
This data is going to be made into a "corpus" for further processes in building a huge expert system so you know what needs to be done i hope.

Read the official python docs!
Start with python's basic str type and its methods. One of its methods, find, will find substrings in your text.
Use the python slicing notation to extract the portion of text you need, e.g.
text = """YOUR TEXT HERE..."""
meta_start = 'In the high court of gujarat'
meta_end = 'ORAL JUDGMENT'
pos1 = text.find(meta_start)
pos2 = text.find(meta_end)
if pos2 > pos1 and pos1 > -1:
# text is found, extract it
text1 = text[meta_start + len(meta_start):meta_end - 1]
After that, you can go ahead and save your extracted text to a database.
Of course, a better and more complicated solution would be to use regular expressions, but that's another story -- try finding the right way for yourself!
As to italics and other text formatting, you won't ever be able to mark it out in plain text (unless you have some 'meta' markers, like e.g. [i] tags).

How to get the country code and national phone number after parsing using the phonenumbers package?

I'm making an application to clean cellphone number. I'm using the phonenumbers package. So I used phonenumbers.parse(Cell No, Country Initials)
and on console it looks like this:
Country Code: ### National Number: ###
I was planning to just delete some text to get the area code and national number but I remembered that the area code and national number character length is different in other countries.
Is there a way to get just the area code and national numbers seperatly

phonenumbers.parse returns a PhoneNumber object.
After y = phonenumbers.parse("020 8366 1177", "GB"), you can access the attributes by e.g. y.country_code or set them by y.country_code = 49 etc.
Extraction of the area code is a bit tricky as not all countries have the concept of an area code. See this code snippet of how to correctly get the area code and national subscriber number separately.

Unexpected behavior with open() and numpy.savetext() functions

Problem
I am trying to output statistics about a table, followed by more table data using Pandas and numpy.
When I execute the following code:
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
data = pd.read_csv(r'c:\Documents\DS\CAStateBuildingMetrics.csv')
waterUsage = data["Water Use (All Water Sources) (kgal)"]
dept = data[["Department Name", "Property Id"]]
mean = str(waterUsage.mean())
median = str(waterUsage.median())
most = str(waterUsage.mode())
hw1 = open(r'c:\Documents\DS\testFile', "a")
hw1.write("Mean Water Usage Median Water Usage Most Common Usage Amounts\n")
hw1.write(mean+' '+median+' '+most)
np.savetxt(r'c:\Documents\DS\testFile', dept.values, fmt='%s')
The table output by np.savetext is written into c:\Documents\DS\testFile before the statistics about Mean, Median, and Mode water usage are written into the file. Below is the output I am describing:
Here is a sample of the table output, which ends up to be 1700 rows.
Capitol Area Development Authority 1259182
Capitol Area Development Authority 1259200
Capitol Area Development Authority 1259218
California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection 3939905
California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection 3939906
California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection 3939907
After this, the script outputs the statistics in this format
Mean Water Usage Median Water Usage Most Common Usage Amounts
6913.1633414932685 182.35 0 165.0
Type: float64
Question
How do I adjust the behavior to guarantee that the statistics appear before the table?

The issue, as pointed out by #hpaulj, is that the same open file is not being referenced.
Replacing
np.savetxt(r'c:\Documents\DS\testFile', dept.values, fmt='%s')
With
np.savetxt(hw1, dept.values, fmt='%s')
hw1.close()
Will write all information in the expected order in the same file. Closing it follows best practices of handling files in Python.

Is there a simpler way to parse the xml file into a nested array?

The desired result is a nested dictionary that stores:
/setid
/docid
/segid
text
I've been using a defaultdict and reading the xml file with BeautifulSoup and nested loops, i.e.
from io import StringIO
from collections import defaultdict
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
srcfile = """<srcset setid="newstest2015" srclang="any">

Is there a simpler way to read the file and get the same eval_docs nested dictionary?
Can it be done easily without using BeautifulSoup?
Note that in the example, there's only one setid and one docid but the actual file has more than one of those.

Since what you have is an HTML with an appearance like XML, you can't go for XML based tools. In most cases your options were
Implement SAX parser
use BS4 (which you are already doing)
Use lxml
In any case you will end up spending more time and effort and have a bigger code to handle this. What you have really sleek and easy. I wouldn't look for another solution if I was you.
PS: What simpler could it be than a 10 liner code!

I don't know if you'll find this simpler, but here's an alternative, using lxml as others have suggested.
Step 1: Convert the XML data into a normalized table (a list of lists)
from lxml import etree
tree = etree.parse('source.xml')
segs = tree.xpath('//seg')
normalized_list = []
for seg in segs:
srcset = seg.getparent().getparent().getparent().attrib['setid']
doc = seg.getparent().getparent().attrib['docid']
normalized_list.append([srcset, doc, seg.attrib['id'], seg.text])
Step 2: Use defaultdict like you did in your original code
d = defaultdict(lambda: defaultdict(dict))
for i in normalized_list:
d[i[0]][i[1]][i[2]] = i[3]
Depending on how you're keeping the source file, you'll have to use one of these methods to parse XML:
tree = etree.parse('source.xml'): when you want to parse a file directly - you won't need StringIO. File is closed automatically by etree.
tree = etree.fromstring(source): where source is a string object, like in your question.
