creating a reddit bot.py

## importing all the required libraries

import praw
import os
import re

## initialising praw
reddit = praw.Reddit('brevity_bot')
subreddit = reddit.subreddit("botjungle")

## creating a file posts_replied_to.txt to check what are the posts your bot has replied to
if not os.path.isfile("posts_replied_to.txt"):
    posts_replied_to = []
else:
    with open("posts_replied_to.txt", "r") as f:
       posts_replied_to = f.read()
       posts_replied_to = posts_replied_to.split("\n")
       posts_replied_to = list(filter(None, posts_replied_to))

## to iterate ove the subbredit post and then reply on selected posts
for submission in subreddit.hot(limit=5):
    if submission.id not in posts_replied_to:
        if re.search("colab.research.google.com", submission.selftext, re.IGNORECASE) or re.search("google-colab.com", submission.selftext, re.IGNORECASE):
            submission.reply("jupter_bot: Thank you for sharing this Notebook.")
            print("Bot replying to : ", submission.title)
            posts_replied_to.append(submission.id)

## writing posts already replied to in a text file posts_replied_to.txt
with open("posts_replied_to.txt", "w") as f:
    for post_id in posts_replied_to:
        f.write(post_id + "\n")
