In this task I must develop a program that identifies individual words in a sentence, stores these in a list and replaces each word in the original sentence with the position of the word in the list. It must then compress the positions and send it to a file. I have managed to complete all of the above but im struggling to understand the "with open" part. I have tried just using "open" and the code comes up with a syntax error. So if anyone could explain to me what the keyword "with" does in this situation it would be much appreciated.
