The following code
corpus = set()
for line in open("path\\to\\mycorpus.txt"):
corpus.update(set(line.lower().split()))
print corpus
stoplist = set()
for line in open("C:\\Users\\Pankaj\\Desktop\\BTP\\stopwords_new.txt"):
stoplist.add(line.lower().strip())
print stoplist
gives the following output
set(['a', "where's", 'abc', 'for', 'of', 'system', 'lab', 'machine', 'applications', 'computer', 'survey', 'user', 'human', 'time', 'interface', 'opinion', 'response'])
set(['let\x92s', 'ain\x92t', 'there\x92s'])
Why is the apostrophe turning into \x92 in the 2nd set??
