Need my code to count each words position number and store to file

I need to develop a program on python that identifies individual words in a sentence and stores them in a list but stores a word's position number in the sentence not the actual word. I have developed this code yet cannot get it to save the words position. 

 sentence= input("Enter a sentence")
 keyword= input("Input a keyword from the sentence")
 words = sentence.split(' ')

 for i, word in enumerate(words):
    if keyword == word:
        print(i+1)

 file = open("newfile.txt","a")
 file.write(input("text to write in the file")+"/n")
 file.close()

Anyone got any advice, pointers or help?

Based on you question and the code snippet, I have come to a conclusion that your program,

  • Accept sentence from user
  • Get a keyword from user
  • If the word in sentence matches the keyword, save the word number in file.

So, for that, Here's the code.

sentence= input("Enter a sentence")
keyword= input("Input a keyword from the sentence")
words = sentence.split(' ')

file=open("newfile.txt","a") #open the file in append mode

for i, word in enumerate(words):
  if keyword == word:
    file.write(str(i+1)+" ") #append the text. I've added space to distiguish digit.
file.close() #Close the file after loop.
