Hi, I am new to Python. I am trying to do the following inp = open(my_file,'r')
for line in inp: # Perform some operations with line if condition something: # Start re reading for that position again for line in inp: if some other condition break # I need to go back one line and use that line value. # I need to perform the operations which are listed in the top with this line # value. I cannot push that operation here # I cannot do this with seek or tell. In Perl this is what I have while (<inp> ){ # my_operations next if /pattern/ while (<inp>) { operations again last if /pattern2/ } seek(inp,(-1-length),1) } This works perfectly in Perl. Can I do the same in Python. Thanks Jee -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
