On Wed, 16 Mar 2005 19:06:40 -0600, rumours say that Terry Hancock
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> might have written:
<snip>
>You mean you have a text file and you want to find all the lines between

<snip>
>lines = open('myfile', 'r').readlines()
>printing = 0
>for line in lines:

> if line[:3]=='end': printing=0
> if printing: print line
suggested order to mimic sed functionality:
> if line[:5]=='start': printing=1
> if printing: print line
> if line[:3]=='end': printing=0
and perhaps it's better to use startswith than slicing.
