Hi Scott,
Bob gave you the basic instructions that you need to complete the task
that you are asking for. If you don't know how to do this, I would
suggest that you start with the following Python tutorial:
http://www.greenteapress.com
They provide an excellent tutorial for learning the basics of Python --
and best of all, it's free and written for absolute beginners.
Take care,
Byron

Thanks again,
I figured it out with the index function of the file objects, I didn't
know that you could search for a word and find the exact pos of it,
that was the tiny bit of information I was looking for.
