Hello,
I already have the code to do the following, but I thought there must be some code existing already that does
it, perhaps more efficiently.

I need to open a text file in a Tk text widget window. The contents of the text file need to be tokenised into words,
punctuation and other symbols removed. This list of tokens/words(list 1) need to be compared with the words
in another text file (list 2, preferably implemented as a hash or hash slice).

For each word in list 1 which is not present in list 2, the particular word needs to be marked in the Tk text widget in
some way, for example changing the font colour of the word (from black to red, say).

(I have some code that loads a text file in a Tk text widget, saves it, etc.)

Does anyone know of any code that can be used to do the above?
Thanks in advance,
perl_seeker:)
