Hi all,
I understand that python excels at text processing, and wondered if
there is a way to use python to accomplish a certain task. I am
trying to search large text files for multiple strings (like employee
ID number, or name). Any text editor (I use Windows mostly) will
certainly have a "fin
would process the search and output all lines to a file.
Something like that is what I am imagining, but I am open to
suggestions on items that may be easier to use or code.
Is that reasonably simple to code for a beginner?
Thanks again,
Scott

same filename to write to (File C), thus
leaving only the prompt for the file to be searched (File B).
The user would be responsible for listing the search term variables
into File A prior to running the script.
Is this simple enough?
