The first two lines are redundant you only need the last one.
I should have clarified, the "if line.startswith" part was used to
break out of the previous for loop, which was used to

I should have clarified, the "if line.startswith" part was used to
break out of the previous for loop, which was used to import the
other, shorter strings.
Thats fair enough if you are doing something with

I ended up doing this, but please reply if you have a more elegant
solution:
if line.startswith('notes'):
break
notes = open('myfile','r').read().split(notes:\n')[1]

Is there an easy way to do this? Or do I need to read the entire file

I'm not sure how to do this. I'm reading lines in from a text file.
When I reach the string "notes:", I want to assign the remainder of
the text file to a single variable (line breaks and all):
