I had thought that may be the only way to do it, I was hoping for
something simpler as I wrote earlier.
Thanks for your help,

If you want line numbers,. of course, then you can use
for linenum, line in enumerate(myfile.readlines()):
...
Remember that true to Python's philosophy numbering will start at zero.
Is this any better than:
lines = myfile.readlines()
for linenum in xrange(len(lines)):
# Do stuff with lines[linenum] ...
?
Thanks,
Jeremy
