s = f.readline() if 'mystring' in s: print 'foundit' if 'mystring' not in s: print 'not found' if 'mystring' in s: print 'processing'
this generates output: not found processing so, it doesn't find the substring, but goes into processing code anyway. This is using IronPython -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
