just use readline() method...this will move the file pointer to the next line.... example: fd=open("/tmp.txt","r") fd.readline() ##THIS MOVES THE FILE POINTER TO THE SECOND LINE now carry on with... for line in f.readlines(): #THIS WILL BEGIN WITH THE SECOND ROW AS THE FILE POINTER IS IN 2NDLINE .... -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
