Hi Chris, After the inner loop finishes, I want to go back to the next line from where the outer loop was left i.e the lines of the inner loop will be traversed again in the outer loop. 1>>I iterate over lines of the file 2>> when i find a match in a certain line, i start another loop till some condition is met in the subsequent lines 3>> then i come back to where i left and repeat 1(ideally i want to delete that line in inner loop where that condition is met, but even if it is not deleted, its OK) -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
