It works but what I don't understand about this line is why the ands
are not ors
Because 'or' would include x if any one of the conditions was true.
For example if 'vt' existed but not 'vn' then the line would be included
because vn was not in the line, even though vt was.
We are all assuming that you want to exclude the line if any of the
phrases is present.
Thats why I actually prefer the multiple if version that Peter posted:
theTextAsListNoVnOrVtOrEmptyLine = [x for x in theTextAsListStripped
if "vn" not in x
if "vt" not in x
if x!= ""]
It's slightly more verbose but it makes the rules more explicit, IMHO.
