Dear Group, I have a file. The file has multiple lines. I want to get the line number of any one of the strings. Once I get that I like to increment the line number and see the string of the immediate next line or any following line as output. The problem as I see is nicely handled in list,
like list_one=["god","earth","sky","cloud","rain"] list_one[0]="god" list_one[2]="sky" but can it be for string and file? I can generally put a cursor and move it back and forth for my need using index/find and then re. But, I was looking to use some built-in methods. Can I use fileinput or ast? But, I was not finding any good resources, using http://docs.python.org/library/fileinput.html#fileinput.input, etc. did not help much. If any one can kindly help me out. Best Regards, Subhabrata. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
