Welcome, William. Another mailing list you might want to post to is the Python Tutor list (https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor) which is focused on people learning Python. Seems like your problem can be broken down into a few steps: 1. Open a file 2. Read the first line 3. look for "1000" in that line. Learning how to read from a text file would probably be the first thing to look into. See in particular chapter 7.2 in this section of official tutorial. https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/inputoutput.html You may also google for other examples of opening and reading lines from a text file in Python. Once you've been able to read in a line, you can do a simple search in that line using the "in" keyword (mentioned part way down the page https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html in the section called "Common Sequence Operations"). Hopefully you'll find this useful rather than just giving you a complete little program (where's the fun in that!). -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
